“There is no instance of a country having benefited
from prolonged warfare.”
--Sun Tzu, The
Art of War, Chapter II,
Waging War, paragraph 6

In January 2009 the Info War took a strange new turn with the debut of the UK Telegraph's Apocalyptic online "Blackjack" story board series, which probably echoed the CBS "Jericho" miniseries "Day After-Disaster" that included the 28 Feb 2007 episode called "Blackjack."In Chapter 8 we talked about how national media subtly prepares audiences for future terror events by utilizing "predictive programming." This usually consists of seemingly harmless entertainment that nevertheless shapes world views and subconscious expectations in order to leverage terror scenarios (or to paraphrase George W. Bush: "catapults the propaganda") that the power elite plans to take live some day.Now that the Internet had spread so much awareness about the false flag concept, perhaps the power elite felt it needed a new tactic. Perhaps it was now promoting forms of "predictive programming" designed to overwhelm and preoccupy Truth activists with fictitious details.
This could reflect a multiple combination of different PsyWar techniques, to include predictive programming, limited hangout, and a fear monger distractor to waste people's time and imbalance their focus. Perhaps it also entailed deliberate "cry wolf" information overload program to encourage fatalism, burn out, and cynicism. Then again, maybe certain insiders were desperately trying to leak tips regarding real terror threats on the drawing boards to the public. In his June 24, 2009 article "Predictive Programming 2.0: Operation Blackjack," Jurriaan Maessen at Infowars.com weighed in on these kinds of issues regarding a very ominous and strange cartoon series presented to the public in January 2009:

In January of this year the London Telegraph began featuring several graphics under the name operation blackjack. The images themselves are artistically inferior, depicting major ‘terrorist’ attacks both in Europe and the continental United States. But the artistry- or lack of it- is less interesting than the intent. In the vulgar display we witness a plethora of horrific events across the globe, igniting not only utter chaos and devastation but also a “Union of North America” (UNA), created to combat the calamities and consolidate an Anglo-American government with extraordinary authority over its people. One aspect of the gallery that is especially intriguing is the abundance of Illuminate-symbols with which the pictures have been spray painted: several references to a “New Dawn”; a policeman wearing a Nazi-style eagle on his hat accompanied by the new flag under which the “Union of North America” operates; the eye, the sun, a snake biting its own tale.As to the identity of the ‘artist’ responsible for the macabre series, journalists at the UK Telegraph remain strangely silent (if they don’t hang up the phone in anger). Considering MI5 and MI6 are known for planting messages in the bloodstream of mass media, we may speculate that there is something to be won here.

Jurriaan Maessen continued:

For those unfamiliar with Operation Blackjack, here’s a short summary of the playbook: beginning on June 21, a van pulls up with the ominous ‘New Dawn Presentations’ painted on the side. At the same time the London police are put on high alert as they move to raid the homes of several ‘terror suspects’. On the early morning of the following day, it begins. Pandemonium. Nukes go of in every major city in the Northern hemisphere and a grim sequence of ‘attacks’ commences. All major cities fall victim to exploding mini-nukes, leaving once familiar and thriving communities in utter ruin. One graphic shows two men bent over their desk gasping at the sight of the events unfolding and proclaiming their readiness to moving into ‘phase 2’. In the following weeks Martial Law is being implemented in both Britain and the United States, inevitably resulting in all-out tyranny. Finally, in the fifth episode of the curious mini-drama, the true perpetrators behind the attacks are exposed as the UNA-people themselves, false-flagging their way towards the endgame: global government.

The author then offered his explanation about how this could be a "wise guy" ploy.

If it is indeed a case of predictive programming we are dealing with, than its designers leave little for the imagination to chew on. Could it be, as some believe, a warning beforehand consistent with the tendency of the elite to throw out lengthening shadows on events to come? Assuming you are reading these words without chaos erupting outside, there must be some alter motive behind the picture gallery bringing your household predictive programming one step further into the bizarre. Could it be a classic example of the boy-who-cried-wolf principle, where impending doom is being announced so many times without follow-up, that a warning of the real event goes completely unnoticed? Sensitizing people to messages of apocalypse without it occurring, makes people understandably weary of making such predictions in the future. It also makes people ignore their instincts when an impending false flag is actually underway. Mixing in the very real threat of false flag attacks- even exposing the real terrorists as blackjack does- makes the operation especially cunning. False announcements contaminate the truthful messages planted alongside them. As a result the baby (false flag ops) is thrown away with the bathwater (the specifics)- and the book is closed until the next real event occurs.It is therefore more than likely that operation blackjack is a psyop directed specifically at those who are already aware of the reality of false flag operations. Admitting that such operations do indeed exist, the operatives provide precise dates and places, inspiring their target audience to enter a forest of details like mice trapped in a maze. That’s why the operation is so elaborate in its details. The people who are being lured inside the maze find a fresh clue around every corner, directing them to the next clue and the next and so on, until he is so far in he can no longer discern the contours of the maze he is trapped in. The specifics therefore function as blinders for the truth seeker, obscuring the big picture and exhausting him in the process. We have to hand it to the architects of the game. By every so often planting easily decipherable hexadecimal codes into the maze, they keep the viewers guessing as they grasp at every clue that is laid in front of them. The same goes for the many references to the Illuminati woven not very subtly into the script.In this sense operation blackjack may be described as an example of the new and improved version of predictive programming, as the target audience is not so much sensitized to real events underway, but rather to the anticipated event not coming to pass. In the end the viewers sit down underneath a tree, completely exhausted from their quest, and realise that the predicted date they focused on has long since past without anything occurring. As a result, they will think twice about following clues again lest they will embark on another such wild goose chase. And then, when a large part of the awoken has turned to other matters, the globalists can commence with their next false flag attack in full impunity.

...This disgusting and pointless "gallery" cannot be classed as culture, art or anything of the sort - it is nothing more than gratuitous and macabre pornography for those in establishment, and believe me there are many, that yearn for another 9/11 or worse in order to unravel their contemptuous political agenda.What kind of sick mind created this and why was it allowed to feature so prominently on a major UK newspaper website? This is vile, vulgar propaganda and downright offensive, especially to the millions of people who live in London and New York City and have already suffered terrorist attacks, both of which were carried out with the complete complicity of the British and U.S. governments, within the past decade.We need answers as to who created this, what its implausible artistic merit is, and why the London Telegraph allowed it to appear on their website.We encourage people to make their complaints via this online form. Don't give them your real address, just make up a fake one.

While
I believe that the reservations expressed by Jurriaan Maessen and
Paul Joseph Watson have validity, there are still overriding reasons
why the Telegraph may have provided a "public service"
by publishing "Operation Blackjack." I
am reminded of the reaction of some friends to Oliver Stone's film
JFK
when it first came out. They felt that while the film was probably
originally intended as simply diversionary entertainment, conspiracy
theme exploitation, and a "limited hangout" by those who
financed it, the movie's thesis took on a life of its own that provoked
a hostile reaction from national media. This was obviously a good
sign that the movie was waking up the public in ways that the establishment
had never intended. The
establishment probably originally intended JFK to simply
harbor "conspiracy theories" within an entertainment format
so that anyone who took such theories seriously might be discredited
as someone who "watches too many movies." Meanwhile, on
a subconscious level, the public was being further desensitized to
high level intrigues. It was also being fed the predictive programming
message that the perpetrators are too powerful to be publicly exposed,
stopped, and punished. This in turn can encourage fatalism and Stockholm
Syndrome. On
the other hand, JFK helped to inspire more serious assassination
research regarding an important false flag event that remains an open
sore in our society. This kind of movie put us further down the trail
towards a book like Final
Judgment which was one of the first to bring to light Israel's
central role.I
regard it as the lessor of evils when sick and malevolent members
of the power elite "act out" with media events rather than
hit us with actual attacks. At least they are giving us more clues
about who and what they are. They also give activists like myself
justifications to use their tactics as a springboard to educate the
public regarding deeper sociological and political issues that must
be addressed.In
the case of "Operation Blackjack," like JFK, someone
probably took it well beyond the level of "just a comic strip,"
even though members of the establishment who originally conceived
the project probably wanted to set up people who take the story line
seriously as individuals who "read too many comics." Predictive
programming works best when its target audience is not particularly
awake or mentally vigorous about connecting dots, and the audience
tends to stay within whatever intellectual sandbox has been prepared
by the programmers. In contrast, works like this Mission of Conscience
series are hopefully expansive and deep enough to cause predictive
programming to become its own worst enemy. Once the programming has
caused an audience to focus its attention on important topics, and
has done heavy lifting by providing a fair amount of truthful limited
hangout insights, hopefully we can then use all of this as a springboard
to quickly reach higher levels of insight. I
will return to Operation Blackjack later in this chapter when I cover
a related episode in June 2009. (In addition, please link to the 23
June 2010 update article Operation
Blackjack: RetrospectiveJune 22 came and went, and
no nukes were set off, Prisonplanet.com). But first I want to
digress to a different strange event that occurred on 27 April 2009.
Some people think that this also constituted a form of fearmongering
"gratuitous and macabre pornography," to use Paul
Joseph Watson's phrase. We witnessed the President’s very own
Air Force One jumbo jet buzzing New York City for half an hour, chased
by two F-16 fighters.

One blogger consoled "Tracy,” a New Yorker who ran out of her building in terror when the plane approached:

Tracy…I am so sorry that you had to go through that again. For the FIRST time I am REALLY ANGRY. I make no apologies about this one. I AM MORE THAN UPSET. I am shaking as I type this. This administrations incompetence and arrogance and narcissism knows NO BOUNDS! Obama does not have one ounce of respect for AMERICANS that have gone through one of the worst attacks on American soil of our time. Where was the RESPECT and HONOR for that City and its citizens? That skyline should be respected in memorial…NOT USED FOR A STUPID PHOTO OP. No, I believe it goes much further…. NO WORD FROM THE PRESIDENT HIMSELF????????????????? WHAT AN UNMITIGATED ASS AND UN AMERICAN PRETENDER TO OUR PRESIDENCY. HE OWED YOU AN APOLOGY!!!! No, he can APOLOGIZE TO OTHER Nations BUT NOT TO HIS CITIZENS? Freakin unreal. ANYONE…ANYONE…ANYONE FREAKIN ONE, THAT IT NOT OUTRAGED BY THIS SHOULD SERIOUSLY QUESTION THEIR SANITY.By Kelly In Texas on 04/28/2009 11:07 am

New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg reacted as follows "The good news is it was nothing more than an inconsiderate, badly conceived and insensitive photo op with the taxpayers' money."I have posted online an article I wrote in 1992 titled "The First Amendment and the U.S. Military" which helps me comment upon this incident from a very different perspective than Bloomberg. I quote Marine MajGen. Smedley Butler's denunciation in 1931 of an incident involving the fascist dictator Benito Mussolini:

A friend of mine [journalist Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr] said he had a ride in a new automobile with Mussolini, a car with an armored nose that could knock over fences and slip under barbed wire. He said that they drove through the country and towns at 70 miles per hour. They ran over a child and my friend screamed. Mussolini said he shouldn't do that, that it was only one life and the affairs of the State could not be stopped by one life!" Butler paused to let the words sink in, and then dramatically thrust his head and neck forward and scornfully demanded, "How can you talk disarmament with a man like that?"

Indeed, why should the imperial Zionist-dominated Federal government care about how New Yorkers feel about a buzzing jumbo jet any more than Mussolini did about who got in front of his car? For that matter, why should it also care about any fear mongering related to false flag terror, or care about whether or not Iranians have fair elections in the face of American-Israeli saber rattling? In his 18 June 2009 article “The Waning Power of Truth” Dr. Paul Craig Roberts described how the U.S. government, Mossad-CIA, and U.S. national media created another PSYOP to prepare the public for war against Iran.

Now ten months later [than the Aug 2008 Georgia invasion of South Ossetia], US "black ops" is at it again, pumping out disinformation about the "stolen" Iranian election. The US media is again serving the government’s disinformation campaign. This despite the fact that on May 23, 2007, Brian Ross and Richard Esposito reported on ABC News:"The CIA has received secret presidential approval to mount a covert "black" operation to destabilize the Iranian government, current and former officials in the intelligence community tell...ABC News."

On May 27, 2007, the London Telegraph independently reported: "Mr. Bush has signed an official document endorsing CIA plans for a propaganda and disinformation campaign intended to destabilize, and eventually topple, the theocratic rule of the mullahs."

A few days previously, the Telegraph reported on May 16, 2007, that Bush administration neocon warmonger John Bolton told the Telegraph that a US military attack on Iran would "be a ‘last option’ after economic sanctions and attempts to foment a popular revolution had failed."

On June 29, 2008, Seymour Hersh reported in the New Yorker:"Late last year, Congress agreed to a request from President Bush to fund a major escalation of covert operations against Iran, according to current and former military, intelligence, and congressional sources. These operations, for which the President sought up to four hundred million dollars, were described in a Presidential Finding signed by Bush, and are designed to destabilize the country’s religious leadership."

The Iranian election protests, essentially by the westernized youth of Tehran who wish to be free of Islamic moral codes, have the hallmarks of orchestration. The protesters are color-coded with green wristbands. Their protest signs are in English and are obviously directed at the western media. Their chants are propagandistic and bear no relation to facts known by every Iranian.

And again, the US media and various experts, whose ambitions depend on government-related careers, are force-feeding the American public the disinformation designed to further isolate and weaken, if not overthrow, the Iranian government.

Until 1978 the US ruled Iran through the Shah. The US intends to again rule Iran through puppets. The only two remaining independent governments in the region are Iran and Syria. If the US doesn’t first bankrupt itself, both countries will fall to US black ops destabilization.

The limitless gullibility of the American people guarantees carte blanche to the US government’s schemes. Americans seemingly cannot put two and two together. They have already forgotten the lies about weapons of mass destruction that have resulted in the destruction of Iraq. They have forgotten Secretary of State Colin Powell’s publicly expressed remorse at the lies he told the UN. Americans blithely accept the conflation of Taliban with al Qaeda and terrorists and the new war that the Obama regime has started in Pakistan, a war that has already produced 2 million refugees.

By mid-spring 2009 we could sense big trouble brewing from the June to August time frame. First, there was an Operation Blackjack threat for June. Then came the FEMA announcement for another major national-level exercise in late July 2009, only to be followed by the Kansas City, Kansas nuke scenario I uncovered for August.I have italicized the parts of the FEMA announcement below that really caught our attention. It reinforced the threat of a highly centralized police state control under a martial law scenario:

National Level Exercise 2009 (NLE 09)National Level Exercise 2009 (NLE 09) is scheduled for July 27 through July 31, 2009. NLE 09 will be the first major exercise conducted by the United States government that will focus exclusively on terrorism prevention and protection, as opposed to incident response and recovery…. NLE 09 is designated as a Tier I National Level Exercise…. NLE 09 is a White House directed, Congressionally- mandated exercise that includes the participation of all appropriate federal department and agency senior officials, their deputies, staff and key operational elements. In addition, broad regional participation of state, tribal, local, and private sector is anticipated. This year the United States welcomes the participation of Australia, Canada, Mexico and the United Kingdom in NLE 09.

We published the following warning on June 19th, whose link to "Pending Terror Exercises," included a listing for the Ardent Sentry '09. Ardent Sentry got quite a few Operation Blackjack watchers worked up into a lather, particularly with the mention of the "nuclear weapons incident" (NUWAIX) scenario. The NORAD.mil web site released the following description, which I have reproduced below from a blog:

Northcom | North American Aerospace Defense Command and U.S. Northern Command are planning to conduct a combined exercise June 18 - 24 that will incorporate several military exercises with a National Guard exercise. These linked exercises are referred to as ARDENT SENTRY 09. Events will take place in multiple venues across the country includingIowa, Kansas, Oregon, Wyoming, and off the East and West Coasts.The exercise will allow several Department of Defense organizations and some federal and state partners to implement plans and respond to a variety of notional events. Historically, exercises like these have helped both DoD and other agencies review their processes and procedures and focus their future training efforts on closing gaps and identifying areas that need additional attention.Major AS 09 venues include:* NORAD’s AMALGAM DART exercise involving air defense activities at Camp Rilea, Oregon;* The National Guard’s VIGILANT GUARD exercise focused on civil support with major activities in Des Moines, Iowa and Topeka, Kansas; and,* A Nuclear Weapons Incident exercise (NUWAIX) with a U.S. Air Force response near Cheyenne, Wyoming..

Pending Terror Exercises— 9/11 Truth Keeps Tabs —

By Captain Eric H. May
Major William B. Fox
& Mrs. Patti Woodard

June 19, 2009

Capt. Eric H. May

—Vital Vigilance —

Ghost Troop, the patriotic cyber militia, also functions as a cyber media. This is especially the case with Mission 9/11-2B, our ongoing effort to preempt "the next 9/11." Interest in our work has grown steadily, to the point that yesterday CNN published a story about us, probably meant to tar us as crazed conspiracy theorists. Instead they brought us to the attention of the ever widening circle of the Internet. It is for these independent-minded people that we recently posted:

Many in the 9/11 truth movement believe that the same homicidal cabal that demolished the World Trade Center and blew a hole in the Pentagon isn't finished with its madness. The way we see it, Barack Obama is just the negative image of George W. Bush. The new boss is the same as the old boss, only in a different color.

— Black Bush —

Although he campaigned for the presidency mouthing the mantra of "change," Obama has exceeded Bush in his determination to "stay the course" in the global war. After the inauguration, the "antiwar" candidate turned to the Middle East conflagration with a vengeance. He grabbed a bucket to douse the flames. It was filled with gasoline, and he has added his own war in Pakistan to Bush's wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Declining to investigate his predecessor, he has prohibited review of records (e.g. torture memos, Abu Ghraib photos). He has absolved those who committed war crimes with the stale excuse that they only did what they were ordered to do -- the very argument we rejected as we judged war criminals after World War II. He has promoted Lt. Gen. Stanley McChrystal, who led the cover-up of Corporal Pat Tillman's suspicious fratricide, to command in Afghanistan.He has bolstered presidential license at the expense of public liberties, and strengthened the police state. He shows no interest in quaint Latin phrases like habeas corpus or posse comitatus. He looks askance at 9/11 truthers, pro-lifers, gun rights advocates, "birthers" and historical revisionists. He has designated the Internet as a theater of war, targeted by a military command, supported by the military industrial complex. A month ago he had his attorney general dismissed an espionage case implicating Jewish agents, including Jane Harman, who chairs the House Intelligence Committee. A week ago Jeremiah Wright, his pastor and mentor of 20 years, accused him of being a Jewish puppet. The Jewish lobby is clamoring for so-called "hate crime" laws limiting freedom of speech. Constitutionalists wonder whether it will soon be a federal crime to ask questions about Holocaust history, dual-citizenship politicians, or Barack Obama's nation of birth.

Maj. William Fox

—False Flags —

Most alarmingly, Obama continues to threaten America by conducting never-ending terror exercises with national military and police forces, each one practicing for the implementation of dictatorship. Such exercises were taking place during 9/11, simulating the very events that occurred that day. The same was the case with London on 7/7 (2005). Two years ago the House Homeland Security Committee asked Bush to explain National Security Presidential Directive 51, which establishes dictatorship in the event that there is a catastrophe, either natural or man-made. One would think that a Democratic president pledging transparency would quickly reply to their request. The Democratic White House and Congress, though, have adopted a "don't ask, don't tell" approach to their constitutional roles of checking and balancing one another. Each terror exercise hangs over the heads of the American people like a sword of Damocles. Should our new unitary executive decide that we lack focus, purpose and resolve, he too can play the ghoulish game of false flags, attacking his people to feed his power. Let Ghost Troop's Pending Terror Exercises inform all Americans who understand that the 9/11 treason will strike again if we are not vigilant.

Episode 91 of the 21 June 2009 Corbett Report, available for download on MP3, provides a good overview of the "Operation Black" excitement that jumped a quantum level in June 2009. It began on June 16th, 2009, when "Matt in Pennsylvania" called the Info Warrior show with Jason Bermas. Matt described how Operation Blackjack fingered June 22nd as a nuclear terror attack date, right in the middle of the Ardent Sentry Exercise. Furthermore, in the Telegraph's online Operation Blackjack slide show, Part 4, frame 15, shows the picture of an ID Card with hexadecimal code. When one enters this code into an online binary hexadecimal translator, one gets the message: "This is not simply entertainment."According to Corbett, on June 18th a second hexadecimal message was found in Blackjack, this time from part 4, frame 17. The hexidecimal converter produced the following result: "This is the final warning on this site. All further warnings will be given on jackblack12.info. Beware Ardent Sentry. Be alert for semis bearing the sun icon. Not all federal authorities are involved." The web site jackblack12.info is now defunct, although one can still Google online weblog and YouTube reproductions of parts its content. It carried precise grid coordinates for where nuclear explosions might go off in U.S. cities.James Corbett provides an excerpt from a 17 June 2009 Media Monarchy interview with Clyde Lewis of Ground Zero Lounge in Portland, Oregon by James Pilato of Media Monarchy in Portland [5:52]:

Clyde Lewis: ...On June 21st, England gets bombed [in the Blackjack scenario], London has a big bomb go off, takes out parliament, takes out everything, a big nuclear bomb goes off. And then what happens is then everything goes on alert in the world. We are on special alert. Then there are seven places on the North American continent that get hit with nuclear bombs. Los Angeles, a place in Mexico in gets hit, a few other places -- Toronto Canada gets hit, but then what I find fascinating is that of course New York gets hit, it gets hit miles away from ground zero, and then Portland Oregon gets hit, and that is where it is starting to get scary for me because I was thinking to myself --and they actually had in the Project Blackjack, they had the report you file with NORAD as to the damage from the air what was seen in Portland Oregon at the time of the blast. At ground zero.

Clyde Lewis: (continuing) And they actually gave out the coordinates of where the bombs were supposed to go off. So it was interesting, the longitude and latitude that was being set on that web site, and I said "Why would you go to all this detail if it was just a comic book?" So all this detail was done, and we figured the longitude and latitude for the Portland ground zero bomb site was near Dante's, where I do my shows, because it was in the general area. But then I was able to take GPS and pinpoint it even closer and I found out it was three blocks up from Dante's at a little place called the Natural Gas Building here in Portland. [Author's note, located at 220 NW Second Avenue Portland, OR 97209]. It is called the Teardrop Building. I used to work in there when I did traffic reporting for national networks. So this Raindrop Building, what I found interesting, what I found the Teardrop Building, there is actually this group that sets off the bomb is called "Teardrop," code name for the group that is supposed to set off the bomb. Well I managed to pinpoint it in the parking lot. It was the parking lot adjacent to the Teardrop Building. A parking lot right behind this thing was this huge, huge office building in Portland. And the bomb was supposed to go off in a parking space in a parking lot in a white van. Well, a lot of people who know that area well, it is near the Steel Bridge. And it is a parking lot for the [NW] Natural Gas vans. These are all-white vans, and they all are parked basically in uniform in this area. And I thought, that is pretty scary, because the scenario was that there were white vans with what looked like ammonium nitrate bombs, but they were dirty bombs, and they were in these canisters and they placed them like hidden among these white vans. I thought what a great place to hide that. And it got me kind of spooked because the area where Operation TOPOFF, which was an original, I guess you could say drills that the military has been doing in Portland --plus we have had black helicopters flying over this place since August of last year-- what has been going on is that I notice the latitude and longitude was no more than I guess five or six degrees away from the target site for TOPOFF where there was supposed to be a dirty bomb going off in Portland and Homeland Security conducted this type of thing. So this got me kind of spooked. I am thinking, if this is a comic book, they have sure done their homework. They certainly know where to place the bomb. They certainly know where to hide the bomb, where it can be inconspicuous. They know that white vans are parked in this general area. And they had pictures actually of the place. So whoever did it, if it was a London thing, they came to Oregon and shot the pictures, and put them up there. So I am thinking, I did a show about it, and I remember the Willamette Week called me and wanted me to talk about it. But when I sent them the information, they turned around and did not want me to do the story. I was really dismayed by that, because I am thinking, you need to have a little bit of prevention here and be vigilant and look and see everything that is going on. And then I guess you could say now we are not far away from that date, which is June 22nd, 8:00 some odd AM in the morning when it is supposed to happen, but really what has got me spooked now is here we are, some 120 days after I made that statement that "Be looking out for what is going on with Blackjack." After 120 days we would know for sure if anything is popping along. You take a look around you at what is going on in the world right now, you look at the fanaticism that has been going on from the Right Wing extremists that I did another ground zero show [on], that I predicted this is what Homeland Security would be into. These are right wing extremists who shoot abortion doctors and go into the Holocaust Museum and start shooting up the Holocaust Museum. And then you start hearing Barrack Obama start quoting from the Hadith, the 17th century Hadith, so that Shiites can be pleased that he is a Shiite. It gets really damn spooky, even in California, their 26 billion dollar deficit. Their economy is the third largest in the world, and they have a 26 billion dollar deficit. And Schwarzenegger says "And oh, by the way, the first thing we are going to cut is welfare benefits." I would be a little worried about welfare benefits being cut to the impoverished, when most of them are minorities, and when Homeland Security says in their little statement about right wing extremism, veterans and minorities are going to be the next terrorists in this country, I am beginning to wonder if it is all going to culminate around that time, and if it does, I do not know if a bomb is going to go off in Portland, but it certainly will be a time when martial law will be the closest we will ever be around the solstice. I am pretty damned concerned about it. James Pilato: I am very much so as well, and that is why I was compelled to get you on the line today and again get this information analysis as quickly as possible...

On the designated terror date of June 22nd, Capt. May jumped into the Blackjack fray by publishing Operation Blackjack —Terror Code 6/22/09 —. First he provided several paragraphs of analysis on historical terror date code patterns, and then in the last paragraph addressed the 6-22 Blackjack terror code date:

Today's date code is 6/22/2009 -- 62229. Notice that 62229 has a 222 in the middle of the 69. Just as 999 can flip to make 666, either digit of 69 can flip to make 66 or 99. 62229 is a perfect number, then, like the Iraq war date code 3223. It can be read backwards or forwards. 62229 contains a hidden 666: add the digits of 222 for the missing 6, then flip the 9 over.Today is also the third anniversary of the FBI's arrest of seven young black men known as the "Liberty City" terrorists. These patsies-to-be were supposed to have sworn an oath to Osama bin Laden, and were supposed to have been hell-bent to blow up the Sears Tower. The arrest date code of 62226 (6/22/2006), like today's 62229, is a perfect number and a variant of 666. The numbers don't lie, and in this case they accuse the FBI of refining a false flag attack on ZIP code 60606. We certainly live in interesting times. Over the last six months, an anonymous writer has posted a credible scenario in the UK's Telegraph for the establishment of an American military dictatorship. Code-named Operation Blackjack, it would be brought about by false flag terror -- beginning on 6/22/2009, today:

The writer inserts some clever coding in Operation Blackjack. The sum of the digits for today's date code, 62229, equals 21, a blackjack. I suppose we're all gambling that our unlucky number doesn't come up today.

Fortunately this unlucky number did not come up on 6-22. Maybe Blackjack was originally meant to go live, but did not. Or maybe Blackjack was meant to fatigue activists like ourselves prior to the execution of an actual false flag attack in July or August. We had no choice but to keep our guard up. Capt. May put out the alert “NLE 09 Target Analysis: --CHI NYC HOU PDX DC—“ on 26 July 2009 in the Lone Star Iconoclast, which as usual tracked suspicious indicators:

"All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people
of good conscience to remain silent."— Thomas Jefferson

— Introduction —

National Level Exercise 2009 (NLE 09) will run from July 27 - July 31. It will be the largest terror drill yet conducted under the Obama administration. Briefly stated, NLE 09 will place thousands of US and foreign troops across the nation, with a scripted mission to prevent a terror attack in the U.S. in the wake of a terrorist attack abroad. While the official version of events to come is innocuous, public affairs and public information officials with FEMA, Homeland Security and the military have refused to answer reporters' questions, or even to return calls. This stonewalling is an indicator of an exercise that may be a clever way of pre-positioning of coercive power to implement martial law, then arrest and incarcerate political dissidents:

After the departure of George W. Bush, we hoped that Barack Hussein Obama would dismantle the post-9/11 Homeland Regime in the United States and the Global War on Terror abroad. To our dismay, though, 44 seems very much like 43 in his domestic secrecy and foreign bellicosity. It has been a case of "meet the new boss, same as the old boss." Most dismaying of all has been Obama's unwillingness to re-examine 9/11.The Bush administration never wanted to investigate 9/11. The 9/11 Commissioners admitted that their proceedings had been sabotaged and intimidated by the Bush White House. Hundreds of military officers, among them the former head of Army Intelligence, Major General Albert Stubblebine, have called 9/11 "an inside job." If so, it would hardly be a novelty. Operation Northwoods, drawn up by the Joint Chiefs of Staff in 1962, was designed to provoke the American people into a war with Castro's Cuba:"Code named Operation Northwoods, the plans reportedly included the possible assassination of Cuban émigrés, sinking boats of Cuban refugees on the high seas, hijacking planes, blowing up a U.S. ship, and even orchestrating violent terrorism in U.S. cities." U.S. Military Wanted to Provoke War with Cuba, ABC News, 5/1/01, http://abcnews.go.com/US/story?id=92662&page=1Given the willingness of the U.S. government to carry out "false flag" attacks against U.S. citizens, no one should be surprised that a growing number of us believe the 9/11 attacks were designed and carried out by U.S. planners to provoke the American people into Mideast wars. If it were otherwise, the government would conduct a thorough investigation of 9/11 — without obstruction and intimidation. Since Obama will not look into 9/11, he must contend with a country that will do so without him. As with the former USSR, the current USA is discovering that its government is criminal, and can't continue as it is without another 9/11-style false flag attack. Accordingly, a growing number of false flag Internet researchers have begun to alert the public to this set-up "9/11-2B," especially before terror exercises like NLE 09. Major terror exercises were ongoing when the 9/11/2001 U.S. attacks and the 7/7/2005 U.K. attacks occurred. The damning truth is that both nations' terror exercises were scripted for the very events that occurred. They weren't terror exercises; they were terror operations disguised as exercises.

Dr. James Fetzer

For an excellent introduction to the concept and practice of false flag operations, readers should refer to Wednesday's edition of The Real Deal radio show, hosted by Dr. James Fetzer, renowned academic and founder of Scholars for 9/11 Truth. The interview is available in both YouTube and transcript:

As a former Marine Corps officer himself, Fetzer conducts an informed interview with former Marine Corps officer, Major William B. Fox, in the first hour. Fox, a Harvard Business School graduate and publisher of America First Books, offers deep insights into the covert culture that promotes false flag terrorism. In the second hour, Fetzer follows up with retired Sergeant First Class Donald Buswell, a former Army Intelligence SNCO. Buswell achieved national prominence in 2006 by candidly expressing his doubts about the official 9/11 story to the Army, which did all it could to silence him. The decorated Iraq war veteran shares memorable anecdotes about his journey and discoveries. Major Fox is the Ghost Troop executive officer, and SFC Buswell is its first sergeant. Together with them, we have been identifying Chicago, Houston and Portland as primary, secondary and tertiary false flag targets for years now. During the Bush years, Houston was the top target. Now that Obama is in power, Chicago is. During the summer/fall of 2007, Portland was target number one. Because New York and Washington, D.C. were the 9/11 targets, they are always available. Recent events have made us think that they could be in danger now.

— Information —

Below, we provide a synopsis and three articles for each of the top five false flag terror targets, starting with the most recent article. Each of the five targets has had at least one disturbing article in the last week.Chicago is the easiest city in America for Obama to set up. He was last in town on Thursday, at a private dinner with powerful people. Much of his administration has been built out of Chicago insiders, the most conspicuous of them being Rahm Emanuel, known as a vicious Machiavelli even by his friends. There were unsettling and unannounced exercises last week, making residents uneasy. Sears Tower was just renamed Willis Tower, in honor of the insurance company that served "Lucky" Larry Silverstein in the 9/11-WTC affair. Silverstein's real estate partners bought the Sears Tower on 3/11/2009, the anniversary of the Madrid bombings. Occult numerology runs through the place: its ZIP code is 60606 (666), and like the Twin Towers it has 110 (11) stories. We consider it to be the most dangerous place in America.

New York is getting the media work up with a Wednesday report of an Al Qaeda plot against it. A month ago the government tried out some high-tech weaponry in its sky, then a few days later CNN lead the charge to persuade the people that they had just seen "mammatus" clouds, Latin lingo for "titty" clouds. The wise guys of the Big Apple are being coached to laugh at impending doom. Not one in a thousand has actually referred to the library or Internet to discover that mammatus clouds are a new, bogus, cover-up concept, with threadbare and contrived "research" to sell them to the masses. New Yorkers never got a decent explanation of why Air Force One terrified them in late April. Maybe it was a signal for 9/11-2B.

Houston has had more inexplicable terror-type events than any other city in the U.S. since 9/11. Ghost Troop predicted most of them, leading The Lone Star Iconoclast to publish an editorial on 3/3/2008, calling for a congressional investigation of our uncanny performance. Texas City, a petrochemical city just south of Houston, has been the most affected place of all. Friday it had a petrochemical emergency, which was blamed on freak lightning — a first-time reason, even to those who have lived there for decades. Military aircraft have been pestering the petrochemical district, and Homeland Security director Bruce Clawson refuses to answer questions about them, muttering that the public should simply trust its officials.

Portland came close to a terror attack on October 18, 2007 — the last day of TOPOFF-4, an exercise very much like NLE 09 in its scope. The day started out with a Ghost Troop alert to Southeast Texas, followed by a Dow Chemical explosion in Southeast Texas a few hours late . . . followed by the first assassination attempt against Benazir Bhutto . . . followed by a bomb scare and the closure of downtown Portland while Michael Chertoff was close by. It was a three-in-one false flag day. We were hounded throughout our mission to protect Portland by COINTELPRO operators, pseudonymic sorts like "Col. Jenny Sparks" and "Arabesque." We had a U.S. Army Signal Corps propagandist "RTO Trainer" (an anagram for "anti-terror") attacking us, too. They all agreed that we were anti-Semitic for questioning Israeli motives. Last month FEMA admitted that Israel had taken part in TOPOFF-4. If their participation was on the level, why was it kept secret?

Washington, D.C. has been busy with terror drills. Wednesday, in the early morning, they received the same NORAD midnight maneuvers that Chicago had received 24 hours earlier. They had the same amount of advance warning: almost none. On June 22 NORAD was participating in Ardent Sentry, a terror exercise simulating train derailments. On that very day, the Air Guard general in charge of D.C. Air defenses on 9/11 died in a freak D.C. train derailment. On June 10 NORAD conducted mid-day exercises in downtown Washington D.C. The Holocaust Museum shootings occurred in the middle of those exercises. CNN slammed Ghost Troop for asking questions about what happened.

The moment NLE 2009 was over, we could hardly relax. Right on its heels we faced the "Vibrant Response" military exercise with its ominous 10 Kiloton nuclear blast scenario in Kansas City, Kansas.As Capt. May recounted our apprehension in our subsequent interview with Erskine Overnight:

Capt. May: …About a month ago Maj. Fox and I and Dr. Jim Fetzer were part of a strong movement to expose 10 Kiloton nuclear drills being run out of Ft. Leavenworth. Maj. Fox did some excellent research and got an admission that that was what was going on. However, the military was hiding all of this. So we pretty much blew the lid off that exercise. And many people involved in the exercise said the target was Kansas City, Kansas. So there is another occult pattern. Erskine: It is entirely too much to be coincidence. I mean, you can strike up some things to coincidence, and some things, that hey, you are making it fit like an astrology column. It fits me perfect--well it fits about three fourths of the people perfect, but on this it is way beyond coincidence, isn't it?

On the 3rd of August we published “Nuclear Obama’s Vibrant Response.” This go around we were very pleased to have W. Leon Smith, Publisher of the Lone Star Iconoclast, come on board as a co-author:

These are the times that try men's souls. The summer soldier and the
sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their
country; but he that stands by it now deserves the love and thanks of man
and woman. Tyranny, like hell is not easily conquered. — Thomas Paine, The American Crisis, 1776

Tick Tock Obama

Time is working against Barack Obama. Just-released poll numbers show that his popularity is slightly above fifty percent, down considerably from a month ago. The quicksand war in Iraq has been equaled by the quicksand war in Afghanistan, and the brand-new war he has stirred up in Pakistan has nearly sunk the pro-U.S. government for which we have long paid bountiful bribes. Israel and its muscular American lobby supported his candidacy, and now they are pressuring his presidency to start a war with Iran. Domestically, the health care debate has turned against him, and drains his political capital, causing even Democrats to desert his standard. The economy is still rotten, unemployment is still rising, and any assurance that things will soon get better is dubious at best. Blaming Bush for it all was a fine way of temporizing in his first hundred days, and an adequate defense in his second hundred days, but the third hundred days, which begin this week, will likely extinguish his excuses. His standing with the military is mediocre at best, given his escalations in the Middle East, and it won't get any better when he escalates still more to keep the failing mission going. His relations with American policemen are lousy, a result of his recent championing of friend Robert Gates against the Cambridge Police Department, which he accused of stupidity. Add to this a threat to his position unique in American history: nearly 60 percent of Republicans believe that he is a foreigner and therefore a usurper. The mainstream media persistently ridicules the so-called "birthers," but it's hard to find humor in Obama's expenditure of nearly $1 million on lawyers who adamantly refuse to turn over his valid certificate and education documents. Unsteady on his throne, upon which King George unsteadily sat only half a year ago, Obama needs some magic to stop his bleeding, silence his detractors and resume his socialist surge. Many of his cronies and controllers are wishing right about now that Joe Biden's prediction of a catastrophic challenge in the first six months of the Obama nation would come true.

NLE 09 — A Disarmed Nuke

They almost got their wish last week, by means of National Level Exercise 2009 (NLE 09), a massive terror drill suspiciously like the 9/11 U.S. terror drills (simulating hijacked airplanes as weapons) and the 7/7 U.K. terror drills (simulating railway bombings). Officials and mainstream media in both countries call it coincidence, but among their publics more and more are calling it conspiracy. Events shortly before and during NLE 09 argue strongly that there was an official conspiracy by the Obama administration to execute a "false flag" attack against our country, using the terror drill has a convenient way to pre-position forces. To compare what happened to what we thought would happen, we urge the reader to review our pre-exercise article, published last Sunday:

If you're going to attack your own country, you should observe three basic rules: FIRST: Convince your victim that you are a faithful friend.The Obama administration arranged a pre-NLE 09 pow wow with America under the most favorable circumstances by placing a presidential press conference on 7/22, immediately before the most hyped cable program of the year:

By inserting a black Barack ahead of the CNN special, his handlers hoped to revive the national optimism of the Obama election. Further, they meant to remind the nation of its racist past, thereby stifling Obama critics. SECOND: Convince your victim that an insidious enemy is intent on striking, so that you can blame that enemy after you attack.The day after the press conference, media worldwide published the story, offered up by U.S. intelligence, that established a very strong motive for an Al Qaeda attack:

THIRD: Have a plan and stick to it. NLE 09's script called for a widespread U.S. response to a foreign terror event, which would place our country in imminent danger of a follow-up attack. "Spanish terrorists" did their part on Thursday, 7/30, the fourth day of NLE 09. It happened at 8 AM, Central Time:

Never mind that the attacks were blamed on the Basque separatist group ETA and not Al Qaeda. The infamous Madrid train bombings of 3/11 in 2004 were blamed on ETA, too; compliant Spanish officials changed the story days later, blaming Al Qaeda. At 11 AM, Central, according to White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, the president was in the situation room, handling a make-believe catastrophe:

Our national mainstream media obligingly focused on the "beer summit" scheduled for that afternoon at the White House, only "breaking" the story of the Bryan, Texas catastrophe five hours after it happened. The next day the story received scant coverage, especially the inconvenient fact that military Hazmat forces were practicing such a catastrophe in the area at the time it happened.In our article, NLE 09 Target Analysis — CHI NYC HOU PDX DC, we stated that the Houston area the third most likely false flag site in the nation. In light of Thursday's near miss, it's now our most likely target. The order of likelihood is now: Houston, Chicago, New York City, Portland, Oregon and Washington, DC. Robots, reactionaries and Rahm Emanuel will rationalize that all of these July 30 events, which fit perfectly into the NLE 09 terror script, were coincidences. They will chuckle that military experts and experienced journalists like us have fallen over the edge into conspiracy theory. They are right in part: our theory, backed up by the facts above, is indeed that there is indeed a conspiracy. They are wrong to chuckle, though: treason is a capital offense, and no laughing matter.

Dr. James Fetzer

In all likelihood the Obama administration didn't carry out the false flag option built into NLE 09 because of two things: first, the torrent of Internet traffic about the false flag possibilities of the exercise; second, the egregious political error of Obama's ostracizing nearly every cop in the country when he intended to carry out his "9/11-2B" operation.Every terror drill has a false flag option built into it, and accordingly every patriotic American should scream bloody mass murder when one is about to occur. A small number of alternative media "9/11 Truth” writers and broadcasters deride this simple, warranted and proven means of self-defense as "crying wolf." In light of the U.S. 9/11 and the U.K. 7/7 terror drills/attacks, it would be absurd NOT to cry wolf, since the wolves are actual. We wonder what motivates those who urge defenselessness, and in turn ask them whether they are trying to help the wolf by convincing the American people to behave like sheeple. We've seen it done before, in a Houston area terror attempt very much like the one we just saw in Bryan. It happened near the BP refinery in Texas City. The same tactic of issuing a widespread alert scared the wolf off in that case, too, and the same enablers did all they could do to convince the public that it had never happened:

TJ Aulds, the Daily News reporter who parroted the cover-up stories of the FBI's Shauna Dunlap and Homeland Security's Bruce Clawson, was willing to set up his hometown for obliteration..., and as a result he received promotion and recognition. Were it not so, how could malefactors attract assistants for terror and treason?

Vibrant Response is specifically designed to simulate a catastrophic WMD attack resulting in massive casualties. Remember the rule that every terror drill contains the option to execute the terror attack presented in its script. With that in mind, it is our duty — it is every patriot's duty — to sound the alarm, even though false flag enablers in the mainstream and alternative media will undoubtedly say we are crying wolf. We have learned from U.S. Army North public affairs that Vibrant Response will involve a 10 kiloton nuclear device, targeted against Kansas City. Officials did not specify whether the target was Kansas City, Kansas or Kansas City, Missouri. Our guess is that it is Kansas City, Kansas. We have noticed and explored certain idiosyncrasies in false flag terror. One of them is the tendency to attack targets with repetitive names:

Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
New York City, New York
Texas City, Texas

Kansas City, Kansas would fit the pattern perfectly. Having said that, the optional false flag target could be anywhere. We have noted above the five most likely metropolitan attack areas of Houston, Chicago, New York, Portland and Washington, DC. In the case of the WMD team lurking near Texas City on February 1, 2006, they were supposed to be operating in the exercise target area of Charleston, South Carolina. Their exercise script, like that of Vibrant Response, specified a 10 kiloton nuke.

Maj. William Fox

Nuclear Go Go

Another idiosyncrasy of the false flag terrorists is their fascination with, and use of, occult numerology. After the 9/11 U.S. attacks, the 3/11 Madrid attacks, the 7/7 (7 x 11) London attacks and the 7/11 Mumbai attacks, the public was becoming aware of it. In an attempt to suppress speculation, the FBI and ABC collaborated on a 7/11/2006 "limited hangout" story — one that told the public just enough to assure it that the establishment was looking out for it:

Clever readers can look closely and see how ABC/FBI tried to make their own story inaccessible by substituting a double "L" instead of an 11 in the date codes for New York and Mumbai. The date code for Madrid is correct. The numerology — their widely recognized coded system — is indispensable for anyone who wants to understand their signals. This is disturbingly relevant at present, because the false flaggers have just sent out an unmistakable signal with the announcement of a military pilot's death:

Navy Capt. Speicher was said to be dead on 1/17/91 by Dick Cheney, at the time Secretary of Defense. His status was changed to missing in action on 1/11/01, which decodes to 1111. His status was changed again on 10/11/2002, which decodes to 11122, the date on which our Congress passed the Iraq War Resolution, thereby assuring the invasion of that country.To demonstrate the universality of the terror date code, consider that the next day, 10/12/2002 (11222) the Bali bombings occurred, thereby giving Australia a casus belli for an invasion of the Middle East. Between the Iraq War Resolution (11122) and the London bombings (7/7), there are exactly 999 days — the same as the U.K. emergency code. Between the 9/11 U.S. attacks and the 3/11 (2004) Madrid attacks there are exactly 911 days — the same as the U.S. emergency code. Coincidence? Hardly. The in and out of it is that the announcement of Capt. Speicher's death is a code of some sort. Coming at the beginning of Vibrant Response, we are anxious that it could be a "GO" signal for a nuclear false flag attack.Another likely false flag signal is the release over the weekend of the previously withheld photos from the terrifying overflight by Air Force One in Manhattan in April. New Yorkers at the time believed that they were under attack again. They may well have been right, but a few months premature, in their assessment:

Finally, there is the indicator of the mobilization by New York's Zionists, announced the day after the publication of the "bin Laden's son killed" story, three days before the beginning of NLE 09. According to the Israeli newspaper Ha'aretz, New York's Jewish community was tipped off to the WTC attacks of 9/11 hours in advance. It would be foolish not to consider the possibility that the same community knows something is coming:

Eight government agencies participated in the drill, ranging from the NYPD to the U.S. Coast Guard. The exercise took place at the entrance of New York Harbor, just south of the Verrazzano-Narrows Bridge linking Staten Island to Brooklyn.

Per the drill's plan, eight boats were to cross a checkpoint set up by authorities. They were on the lookout for abnormally high concentrations of radioactivity -- a telltale sign of an improvised nuclear device or a radiological dispersal device, more familiarly known as a dirty bomb. Some of the boats were decoys with no radioactive substances aboard, while others had actual radioactive isotopes planted in them.

From the false flag perspective, a major exercise is the best time for high level insiders to pull off an attack. Please see Chapter 7 "How September 11th Became the False Flag Rosetta Stone"3 and Chapter 8 "9/11 Patterns As Future False Flag Indicators"4 in the online Mission of Conscience series by Maj. William B. Fox for a full explanation about why false flag attacks tend to coincide with major anti-terror exercises. These chapters explain why that which is “exercised” also tells us that which could have been—or could be-- done. They also explain why areas that have been prepared for a false flag attack tend to be permanently revisited on an opportunistic basis. As a consequence, we remain sensitive about unusual events in false flag target zones identified by past alerts, especially since a target can be anywhere. New York City is one such target zone. The Tuesday anti-nuclear device exercises helped to confirm our fears. Texas City, Texas, another target area, saw four tankers carrying hazardous chemicals experience a freak real world derailment on Monday.5 Simulated train derailments are a topic of military exercises: 6Portland, Oregon, another prior alert area, will experience enhanced air defense exercises from August 4-9 run by the U.S. Air Force.7

Dr. James Fetzer

The Kansas City area, with its 10 kiloton simulated nuclear explosion during the Vibrant Response exercise, is the most noteworthy of all. 400-500 members of a nuclear warfare-trained consequence-management response force (CCMRF) will train at nearby Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas. They will also role-play as public figures, to include mayors and governors. This may imply a martial law clamp down scenario, consistent with NSPD-51 and other highly secretive directives of the Bush era that Obama retains in force. 8A U.S. Army North Public Information officer told the Iconoclast that the two week Vibrant Response exercise will train two classes back-to back lasting about one week each. The initial phase of each class will include a 10 KT nuclear explosion simulation scenario. Tuesday is the most logical day for each class to deal with a hypothetical explosion, just as Tuesday was also a logical day on September 11, 2001 for participants in over 15 concurrent exercises to see their disaster scenario go “live” at the World Trade Center towers. Most exercises that start off with Monday as a work day are likely to use that day merely as an orientation time for settling in, before tackling a catastrophic event the following day. The upcoming date of Tuesday, 8-11 is worrisome. High level insiders seem to have a strange numerological fascination with “11.” They also like to repeat the same digits (making them divisible by 11), and ignore zeroes. Consider the day 9-11, when twin towers resembling a large “11” with 110 stories each got destroyed. (“110” is another “11” after the zero is ignored) Other examples include the 10-12-2002 “Australian 9-11” Bali attack (or “11222” without the zeros), the 3-11-2004 Madrid bombings, the 7-7-2005 London terror attacks, and the 7-11-2006 Mumbai bombings. Furthermore, when one adds the digits of 2009 in the year field (a common numerological practice), 8-11-2009 becomes “double trouble” 8-11-11. This Saturday, 8-8, (or 8 x “11” in occult numerology) also has significance. The Israel-U.S. sponsored attack by Georgia against South Ossetia took place on 8-8-2008. The U.S. embassy in Beijing opened at 8:08 AM on 8-8-2008, 9 and the Olympics began at 8:08:08 PM on 8-8, 10 This reflected not only the Chinese fascination with “8” as a lucky number, but also high level insider fascination with multiples of “11.”

Capt. Eric H. May

The Increasingly Harsh Tone
of High-Level Insider Rhetoric

Vibrant Response comes right after National Level Exercise ’09 (July 27-31), where the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), FEMA, and thousands of military personnel exclusively focused on “terrorism prevention and protection” and the use of foreign military on U.S. soil. 11 During NLE ’09, that which was exercised also became that which was done when Homeland Security arrested a suspected “home grown terrorist”: “North Carolina Terror Arrests Timed to Coincide with NLE 09”12National media have flip-flopped once again on the Iranian “threat.” They once acknowledged the National Intelligence Estimate of December 2007. This estimate, which reflected the consensus of 16 intelligence agencies of the United States Government, claimed that Iran gave up its nuclear weapons program years earlier. Now speculation has resumed that America is in some sort of imminent danger from Iranian WMD’s. We are once again being warned that it is not a question of “if” but “when” this nation will experience a repeat 9-11. DHS Czarina Janet Napolitano has even suggested that veterans, pro-gun advocates, anti-abortionists, and other conservatives are potential “terrorists” who may resort to violence.13 While some individuals in those categories have shown that disposition, it is strange –even bizarre—to characterize these groups using such language. This is especially true in the case of veterans. While it would be absurd to imagine that false flag attackers are hiding behind every bush, it would be irresponsible not to take notice of specific situations that might be used to conceal another false flag attack. Far from being an exception to the rule, the U.S. Government has shown a propensity to deceive the American people about its aims and objectives. 9/11 was only the most spectacular of all “inside jobs.” Indeed, the continuation of Bush-era national security policies by Obama and his handlers includes the non-repudiation of the Patriot Act and the Military Commissions Act and the continued surveillance of the American people. It also includes the extension of the war in Afghanistan and the retention of rendition as an option. We believe that American citizens must still take seriously both what high level insiders practice –as well as what they say.A 10 KT nuclear explosion simulation should remind us of the exercise in London on 7/7 that “went live” in precisely the same tube lines that were the hypothetical targets in a training exercise. The documentary, “7/7 Ripple Effect”14 (available on YouTube) has lessons not just for citizens of the United Kingdom, but also for the United States and the world –lessons we ignore at our peril.

On August 14th, Capt. May published “9/11 Truth KO’s Vibrant Response False Flag.” He drew attention to the suspicious fact that the Ft. Leavenworth Lamp published an article within a couple of days of our alert that indicated that the exercise was ending five days earlier than originally announced.

VA Hospital, Houston — Alarmed by what they saw as the dangers of national WMD terror exercise "Vibrant Response," four leading 9/11 Truth veterans decided to issue an alert. Going by the dictum that every terror exercise has an optional plan to become a terror attack, they investigated and published the Vibrant Response script, which called for a simulated nuking of Kansas City. They added a list of the top five U.S. target cities, based upon their experience in monitoring — and sometimes interdicting — false flag terror exercises. A simple chronology shows that their concerns were warranted and their assertions were correct:

July 27 — The U.S. military announces Vibrant Response, 2009, scheduled for July 31 - August 14. They make no mention of a Kansas City nuclear event:

August 5 —Leavenworth Times, a major publication in Ft. Leavenworth, Kansas, where Vibrant Response is headquartered, publishes an article that casually mentions the crucial fact that the terror exercise will involve a nuclear simulation in Kansas City:

August 6 —The Fort Leavenworth Lamp publishes the bizarre information — also casually inserted — that Vibrant Response is ending five days early. The curtailing of a major military exercise is unheard of, but the article offers no explanation:

The articles above — three out of four of them official military sources — suggest that a false flag terror attack was indeed being prepared, and that the revelation of key exercise information by the 9/11 Truth article forestalled it.

In an effort to double-check facts, I called up Tisha Johnson, author of “Joint task force trains for disaster response,” to ask why she said the exercise was lasting from “July 31 through Aug. 9” when originally it was scheduled to last through August 14th. Ms. Johnson said she got her information from a Public Affairs Officer at Ft. Monroe, VA. When I called the Ft. Monroe public affairs officer, he said that the exercise had lasted until the 14th and there were no irregularities. When I called another public affairs officer at U.S. Army North in San Antonio, Texas, he repeated what the Ft. Monroe officer told me.Capt. May suspected that they could be blowing smoke, and that our alert had in fact caused false flag malefactors to scurry away from setting off a real nuke, as reflected by Johnson's first indication of exercise curtailment.On August 23rd, Mark Dankof interviewed me on his Republic Broadcasting Network show. He asked me if I thought we had interdicted a possible nuclear attack on Kansas City, Kansas. I responded that we have to be very careful about verifying all facts before drawing conclusions, and currently I am faced with contradictory information between Ms. Johnson’s original article, and what the public affairs officers told me. This issue required further research before I can draw any conclusions.I even went a step further to try to appear low key. I said that until we see hard evidence to the contrary, it is quite possible that by now the military has more than adequate counterintelligence capabilities, and our activist efforts are now no longer needed to prevent false flag attacks. I genuinely hope this is the case. Certainly counterintelligence measures were totally inadequate on 9/11. I see no evidence that the Obama administration is out from underneath heavy Zionist influence and infiltration, as detailed in Chapter 35. Therefore, we certainly have plausible reason to continue our citizen vigilance activities in an effort to provide additional "social insurance" against disaster. Furthermore, given inherent problems with government operators and bureaucrats identified by the libertarian commentator Harry Brown in his classic work Why Government Doesn't Work, quite often they routinely need lots of additional over watch, adult supervision, and advice from outside activists regarding a wide range of issues that include not just defense-related issues, but also myriad other issues such as protecting the environment and running Child Protective Services.In making these remarks, I was concerned that if I sounded like I was beating my chest, bragging that somehow I just knew that the exercise had been curtailed, and on top of this had a gleeful tone to my voice, that this could be twisted by our enemies. They could try to smear us as "subversives" by suggesting that we are somehow fundamentally anti-defense, anti-military, and anti-police. They might charge that we seek to disrupt exercises and degrade military morale as ends in themselves, all of which is not true. The Barnes Review article "A Mockery of Justice—The Great Sedition Trial of 1944" by Michael Collins Piper & Ken Hoop provides a good historical case study about how establishment figures can play rough and dirty with activists --to include right wingers-- by running them through the court system on bogus subversion charges. I view military and police exercises as very serious matters that must be handled with great care. I repeated our usual "boiler plate" legal defense position to Mark Dankof, namely that our goal is to attack the parasite, which consists of the hostile foreign intelligence Mossad --which we hold responsible for 9/11-- and not hurt the host -- which involves U.S. military and domestic police operations. Under normal circumstances, we enthusiastically support U.S. military exercises and national defense preparedness, just as I have always admired civil defense preparedness in countries like Switzerland, Norway, and Sweden. We want to block the possibility of an explosion by a false flag nuclear device, but not an underlying exercises itself. In addition, we do not want to make it appear like we are encouraging any military personnel or police to step back from their duties. We hope to supplement military counterintelligence and "counter terrorism," not oppose or disrupt it. While we are justified in engaging in intelligent speculation prior to events in order to make predictions and issue warnings, we constrain ourselves to careful fact-finding and analysis once they become historical events. We are working for peaceful and lawful change consistent with our oath to protect the Constitution, not violent revolutionary overthrow. We hope that our activist efforts to keep exercise operations above board and honest will help to boost rather than degrade military and police morale. That was a mouth full, but that was pretty much what I tried to say. Moving into September, we saw a strange hijacking of an airline in Mexico. According to the article “Officials: Plane Hijacked Because It Was 9-9-09.”

Mexico's security secretary says a Bolivian religious fanatic told police he hijacked a Mexican flight from the resort city of Cancun after receiving a divine revelation. Public Safety Secretary Genaro Garcia Luna says Jose Mar Flores, 44, told police that Wednesday's date - 9-9-09 - is the satanic number 666 turned upside down. Garcia Luna says Flores used a fake bomb to hijack the plane, then ordered the pilot to circle over Mexico City seven times. He said he wanted to warn Mexican President Felipe Calderon of an impending earthquake.

If nothing else, this episode demonstrated that Mossad-CIA is not the only entity that practices occult numerology. That is, unless Jose Flores was involved with some kind of Mossad-CIA MK-ULTRA project, which is not necessarily out of the question. More on this later when I discuss the likely false flag mass homicides at Ft. Hood, Texas in November 2009 in Chapter 39. The next major upcoming occult date was 9-11. As an amazing coincidence, it brought with it some exciting moments involving Obama. Capt. May recounted in his 12 Sept 2009 Erskine Overnight interview:

Capt. May: …A perfect number, 9-11 both ways. We put out an alert, and we had great concerns about Texas City. Now there was some activity at Texas City that was irregular. I am going to do an article about it [Editor's Note: Please see "9/11 Anniversary Attack on Texas City, Texas?"], but I will not focus on it at the moment. What I will focus on, is that we put out our article at 6:00 AM. By 10:00 AM central time, Barack Obama looks like he came about one hair away from being an ex-President because of those Coast Guard so-called exercises. Have you looked at that? Erskine: Definitely I have seen it where they were firing shots on the Potomac on the whole thing and they dismissed it as just an exercise, but it could not have been any more ill-timed in my opinion. Capt. May: This was the most egregious example probably since 9/11 itself. Of government claiming to hear, see, and say no evil. All of his protective agencies, FBI, Secret Service, Homeland Security, basically said they didn't have a clue. The Coast Guard said it did not have a clue. CNN said it was an all-out attack. Now they tried to cover their tail ends by saying, "Well, we got it wrong from the Coast Guard." But you know what it all reminds me of? Erskine: What? Capt. May: Building Seven. Building 7, when everybody knew it was going to come down, and they were reading their scripts too prematurely. I think there was a very, very good chance that that was an aborted assassination. A very good chance. Maj. Fox and I have written about this. Remember the Dead Monkey cartoon of February 17th? Erskine: Right. Capt. May: That came directly after we interdicted a likely false flag on Sears Tower. And this summer-- Erskine: Which, let me interrupt. That is 666 [zip 60606, knock out zeroes] is the address at the Sears Tower. That was one of the purposes on that one. Capt. May: Exactly, exactly. It is the most dangerous building in America. By the way, that is not just us. The FBI says that. It is just that we know the FBI is setting it up. But they say, essentially what we say. At about the time that you and I did our last interview, you may remember that I had just led a false flag interdiction with Sears Tower. Within about a week of our finishing, the FBI arrested, what, seven black kids. The Liberty Seven, and said that they had taken an oath to Bin Laden to blow up Sears Tower. Now this is after we have run our mission. So they are following our lead, and incidentally, that arrest made was on, get ready, 6-22-2006. 62226. Another perfect number. So these guys are freaks for these patterns . What happened yesterday was no mistake. It was either an aborted assassination or it was an attempt to scare the hell out of Obama or it was part of a wider operation that somehow was aborted. Erskine: Wow. 9-11-09 a day which could have certainly lived in infamy if it had not been aborted, and CNN reported an all-out attack. Very interesting. More when we get back. And the others laugh it off. It was just a routine, routine exercise. Routine exercise on 9/11? I don't think so. More when we get back on Erskine Overnight.

Moving into late fall 2009, bombings, massacres, and assassinations were taking place with disturbing frequency in Pakistan --many of them blamed on Blackwater and other mercenary firms as false flag attacks-- stirring up ever more trouble, justifying counter terrorism budgets in the short run, but solidifying Pakistan's very own homegrown Taliban insurgency in the long run, as usual. In his brilliant 11 Dec 2009 article "Obama Declares War on Pakistan," Webster G. Tarpley observed:

Obama’s West Point speech of December 1 represents far more than the obvious brutal escalation in Afghanistan -- it is nothing less than a declaration of all-out war by the United States against Pakistan. This is a brand-new war, a much wider war now targeting Pakistan, a country of 160 million people armed with nuclear weapons. In the process, Afghanistan is scheduled to be broken up. This is no longer the Bush Cheney Afghan war we have known in the past. This is something immensely bigger: the attempt to destroy the Pakistani central government in Islamabad and to sink that country into a chaos of civil war, Balkanization, subdivision and general mayhem. The chosen strategy is to massively export the Afghan civil war into Pakistan and beyond, fracturing Pakistan along ethnic lines. It is an oblique war using fourth-generation or guerrilla warfare techniques to assail a country which the United States and its associates in aggression are far too weak to attack directly. In this war, the Taliban are employed as US proxies. This aggression against Pakistan is Obama's attempt to wage the Great Game against the hub of Central Asia and Eurasia or more generally.

The following are examples of articles covered by Jason Ditz and others about the steady drum beat of destabilizing terror attacks. A major "kickoff" for this campaign was the spectacular bombing of the Islamabad Marriott in September 2008:

Again, this is only a small sampling of the continuing violence and mayhem destabilizing Pakistan. One can find a more comprehensive listing of events at pakistanbodycount.org. Please also recollect the famous Thomas Jefferson quote: "A government big enough to give you everything you want, is strong enough to take everything you have." Similarly, a Mossad-CIA establishment that is powerful enough to pull off 9-11 and not stand trial, plus kick off a steady drum beat of bombings and other destabilization operations in Pakistan (not to mention Lebanon, Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen, and other Middle Eastern countries), is also powerful enough to some day pull the same pattern of false flag tricks on American soil, in which Ft. Hood-type shootings and Oklahoma City bombings will become almost weekly events. If present trends do not change, we can also expect the U.S. military to be just as myopic on the home front as it is currently over seas, unless enough citizen activists can wake up the public in time.

Before closing out this chapter, at least a couple of topics merit broader intelligence analysis.

1) The extent to which the U.S. military establishment has itself become a mind-controlled, false flag "patsy" of Zionists, as evidenced by its institutionalized inability to avoid repeating all the errors of Vietnam, failure to interdict Mossad or other false flag activity in America (ranging from 9/11 to the Ft. Hood shootings), or avoid a zombie walk into another Stalingrad disaster in the Iraq-Af-Pak-Iran theater on a broader strategic level.
2) The extent to which the U.S. military has become such a "derivative" organization decoupled from original citizen soldier concepts, that it serves alien --specifically Zionist-- special interests as opposed to U.S. national interests and the U.S. Constitution, and would likely repeat many of the horrors of the Red Army under Jewish Bolsheviks in a national martial law clamp down scenario.

There are quite a few articles that have appeared at antiwar.com, lewrockwell.com, counterpunch, waynemadsenreport.com, and other independent or free-thinking web sites that make convincing analogies between America's fiasco in the Vietnam-Indochina War and its current crusade in the Iraq-Af-Pak-Iran theater. A good example is the 22 Jan 2010 article "Mayor of the North Pole" by Jeff Huber, which states:

...Karzai, whose government is rated as the second most corrupt regime in the world by Transparency International, doesn’t even control Kabul. He may as well be Mayor of the North Pole. President Obama, at the prodding of General Stanley McChrystal and the rest of the Long War cabal, has signed on to a major escalation and a long-term commitment to this woebegone war, a war that’s turning into a goat rope more tangled than the Mesopotamia Mistake... ...The only rationale for being in Afghanistan at all is to deny al-Qaeda a sanctuary and the only rationale for fighting the Taliban is that they’ll give al-Qaeda a sanctuary. But in early December 2009, the Taliban offered to give "legal guarantees" that that it will not allow Afghanistan to be used as a sanctuary for attacks on other countries. Gates and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have, so far, blown them off. That’s because in return for not letting al-Qaeda or anyone else launch attacks on other countries from Afghanistan, the Taliban want foreign occupation forces to leave. Imagine them not wanting to be occupied by foreign forces. The effrontery! General Stanley McChrystal and rest of our military and civilian leaders in charge of the Chinese fire drill in Afghanistan are determined to continue a conflict that can’t be won in order to support a despot who can’t be reformed in order to guarantee we have a Long War that can’t be ended. We’re being led over a cliff by a hatch load of certifiable boobies, and the men in white coats with butterfly nets are nowhere in sight.

Wayne Madsen has not only made a strong Vietnam analogy, but also talks about "intelligence agencies interested in further internationalizing the war and luring Russia into the Afghan conflict." My immediate suspicion is that the Mossad is inserting Chechens into Afghanistan, just like it is a prime suspect for the 3 Dec 2009 train bombing in Russia described below. The idea is that since America is now more dependent upon Russian cooperation for its northern supply lines, since its southern lines through Pakistan are coming under increasing guerilla attack, Mossad-CIA has an incentive to "false flag" Russia closer to the U.S. I would not be surprised if Mossad-CIA is also embellishing reports of Iranian involvement in Afghanistan to support further set up an American attack on Iran. Madsen reported as follows:

January 12, 2010 -- Afghanistan is a potential Vietnam on steroidsThe United States faced a determined enemy during the Vietnam War that delivered a constant stream of fresh troops and weapons into South Vietnam along the famed Ho Chi Minh trail in Laos. The United States eventually lost the war in Vietnam and a superpower was vanquished. Not learning from the errors of Vietnam, the United States faces in Afghanistan a much more determined enemy with a multitude of rugged and mountainous "Ho Chi Minh trails" through which are pouring all sorts of battle-worn irregulars anxious to deal the United States multiple fatal blows on a battlefield largely alien to the United States military.WMR has learned from its reliable sources inside Afghanistan that recently a U.S. Forward Operating Base in Afghanistan run by a U.S. Special Forces unit was overrun in a surprise attack by six well-armed Chechen guerrillas. The twelve U.S. Special Forces personnel at the base in a tribal region on the Afghan-Pakistani border were caught off guard and were quickly dispatched by the Chechens. WMR has also been told that the real problem for the United States in Afghanistan is not so much the Afghan Taliban but incoming extremists from Uzbekistan, Yemen, Chechnya, and Dagestan who make the Afghan Taliban appear tame in comparison.The neocon think tanks and media outlets in the United States have been quick to dismiss reports that Chechens are fighting in Afghanistan against the United States and NATO forces. However, there is a possibility that limited numbers of Chechen fighters have been placed inside Afghanistan by intelligence agencies interested in further internationalizing the war and lure Russia into the Afghan conflict on the side of the Americans and NATO. In 2000, Russia's Vladimir Putin threatened to bomb Chechen guerrilla training bases in Afghanistan and Taliban-ruled Afghanistan was one of the few countries that recognized the independence of Chechnya. Chechnya even had a full-blown embassy in Kabul.There are also reports on Iranian irregulars in Afghanistan helping to defend Afghanistan's beleaguered Sh'ia population from both the Taliban and Sunni warlords loyal to President Hamid Karzai. There have been a number of reported shooting incidents between the Iranians and American forces who have tilted their support to the majority Sunnis in the country.

On December 3, 2009, a bomb killed 26 people en route from Moscow to St. Petersberg. Wayne Madsen explained why the "usual suspects" --namely an expatriot Jewish tycoon (and by implication his Mossad-CIA connections) may have been primary organizers and beneficiaries:

December 3, 2009 -- Was Russia train bombing a false flag op designed to garner Russian support for U.S. Afghanistan surge?Questions have arisen in the U.S. intelligence community about the terrorist claims being made by a heretofore unknown Islamic group in southern Russia that has claimed credit for the bombing of a passenger train, the Nevsky Express, en route from Moscow to St. Petersburg. The bombing, which killed 26 people, was claimed to have been carried out by guerrillas said to be loyal to Chechen Muslim leader Doku Umarov. Killed in the attacks were Boris Yevstratikov, head of the Russian State Reserves Agency, and Sergei Tarasov, a former deputy governor of St. Petersburg. A second bombing at the location of the first injured investigators who were probing the first attack.However, U.S. intelligence experts who monitor the situation inside Russia point out that Umarov is a Sufi Muslim. Sufis are not the breeding ground for Wahhabi extremists normally found in the ranks of Chechen Islamist ranks and, in fact, are reviled by the Wahhabis and extremist Shi'a Muslims alike. Umarov claimed to fight in Chechnya for independence not religion. In addition, prior to the claim of Chechen involvement in the attacks, only right-wing Russian nationalist groups had claimed responsibility. Moreover, the precision of the attack on a high-speed train have suggested to Russian law enforcement that the attacks were more likely the work of highly-trained and seasoned professionals with intelligence backgrounds in sabotage.Responsibility for the train bombing was claimed by the "Caucasian Mujahideen." U.S. intelligence experts doubt that the Caucasian Mujahideen actually exists. The unknown group claims that the train bombing is the first in a series of planned attacks on Russian strategic targets, including electrical, gas, and oil lines. The August 17 disaster at the Sayano-Shushenskaya dam, Russia's largest hydro-electric dam in Siberia was also claimed to have been a terrorist attack by people claiming to represent Umarov but Russian authorities said it was caused by an accident. Chechen President Ramzan Kadyrov, a former Chechen guerrilla leader, said he doubted that Umarov was behind the attack but did note that Chechen guerrillas receive support from "foreign special services." Kadyrov did not elaborate on what foreign services were backing the guerrillas.After the November 2008 terrorist attacks in Mumbai, another unknown group, the "Deccan Mujahideen," claimed responsibility. It was later determined by Indian intelligence that the Deccan Mujahideen was a bogus organization.U.S. intelligence sources report that previous terrorist attacks, including the 2004 massacre at a school in Beslan, bore the hallmarks of false flag operations designed to whip up Russian anger against Muslims. Exiled Russian tycoon Boris Berezovsky is one individual with the track record and the means to order false flag operations inside Russia. Berezovsky, who reportedly carries an Israeli passport and lives mostly in London, is known to have aided Chechen guerrillas with logistical and financial support. The timing of the bombing is noteworthy due to the fact that an agreement made between President Obama and the Russian government during the July summit in Moscow permitting as many as 4500 U.S. transport flights over Russian airspace to Afghanistan has not yet been ratified because of disagreements over over details. The bombing of the Russian train came just days before Obama announced a U.S. troop surge of 30,000 into Afghanistan. NATO is expected to boost its troop levels by 5000. The opening of Russian airspace to American and NATO flights to and from Afghanistan at this juncture would be highly advantageous to Pentagon war planners.

The following is a sampling of articles by other authors who compare Iraq-Af-Pak with Vietnam:

From the late 1950's to the mid 1960's, William J. Lederer and Eugene Burdick published works such as Our Own Worst Enemy, Sarkhan, Nation of Sheep and the Ugly American which described how the State Department, U.S. military, and CIA were too constrained by internal bureaucratic politics and their own fossilized view of the world to avoid self-defeating behavior in Southeast Asian countries. Short term appearances were always more important than real long term results. What they wrote about regarding America's misadventures in IndoChina back then does not appear to have changed a bit in the Iraq-Af-Pak-Iran theater today. This is bad enough, but worst of all, there is a much deeper, much more sinister dimension behind American foreign policy in which Zionists who control the America's central bank, national media, and other strategic choke points have characteristically slipped their manipulative tentacles into all sides of a conflict. As one example of Vietnam-era skulduggery, Mossad-CIA ran the opium trade out of the Golden Triangle. According to former Green Beret Col. Dan Marvin, he was prohibited from interdicting freighters headed up the Mekong River into Cambodia that supplied arms to the enemy because these same ships returned down the river (also to be left untouched) filled with CIA opium. Similarly, Mossad-CIA has revitalized opium production in Afghanistan, which had been mostly eradicated under Taliban rule. Now Afghanistan is a major global supplier. The U.S. Army even posts its own soldiers to guard opium fields. This skulduggery is an old story. As an example, the works of Henry Ford, Dr. Anthony Sutton, or the video The Money Masters (see Chapter 33) describe skulduggery where New York-based Zionist money masters funded Bolshevism while publicly pretending to oppose it. Michael Collins Piper provides important insights into other longstanding patterns of skulduggery in his books The New Babylon, the New Jerusalem, and The Judas Goats. So does Col. Donn de Grand Pre in his "Barbarians Inside the Gates" snake book series. An important objective of this Mission of Conscience series is to show how American policy is totally corrupt from the top down. Until American officials can openly discuss 9/11 as a Mossad-CIA inside job, and all the other false flag missions covered in this series, how can they intelligently discuss anything that has to with Iraq-Af-Pak-Iran? It is like trying to work a physics problem where your most important variables are withheld from you. As I have discussed else where in this series, if we are going to conduct a thorough and no-holds barred intelligence analysis of this situation, we would also need to address strong ideological and sociological dimensions behind all of America's major problems. On the ideological side, ever since 1861 America has been on the hell-bound train towards unlimited Federal government, "justified" by "environmental top down" neo-Jacobin ideology that is diametrically opposite the "genetic bottom up" paleoconservatism and classical liberalism of the Founding Fathers.In his 15 Dec 2009 article "Finis," William S. Lind made a profound observation.

The best book on where America now stands and where it is going is J. H. Elliott's The Count-Duke of Olivares: A Statesman in an Age of Decline. Olivares was what we would now call the prime minister of Spain in much of the first half of the 17th century. His era saw Spain go from "the only superpower" to a downward plunge that lasted three centuries. Unusually, the more one looks at the details, the more the parallel holds. Then, as now, the root problem was the same: the court was controlled by interests that lived off the nation's decay.

Back in 1995 William Lind published "From Nightmare 1995 to My Utopian 2050" which forecast the decline and eventual break up of America in broader social terms. The following year Thomas Chittum published the landmark work: "Civil War Two: The Coming Breakup of America" that analyzed America's terminal internal contradictions in greater detail. I feel privileged to have written the Jan 2007 Publisher's Preface to the ebook version of his work. Before this, a number of other major writers on the Rights saw the Zombie March from
a broad social and historical perspective as well. The late John Tyndall, one of the founders of the British National Party, predicted in the early 1990's that both Britain and America would eventually hit the rocks, and that following a breakup, nationalism would come roaring back across the white world. The evil Zionist genie would eventually get put back in its bottle, and the 21st century would end up looking more like the 19th century than the 20th. The late Dr. William Pierce had a similar viewpoint in his November 7, 1992 interview "America Since World War II" with Kevin Alfred Strom on American Dissident Voices. Pierce correctly predicted in his writings in the early 1990's that the computer revolution would be incapable of economically bailing out America. He also predicted that as the Zionist-dominated, multi-racial, multi-cultural empire continued its decline, and as whites continued to miscegenate and approach minority status, that Jews would become increasingly more dangerous. The massive Wall Street corruption and bailouts in recent years, combined with 9/11 and the spate of ensuing Mossad-CIA false flag attacks have all proven him on target. More recently many individuals such as Capt. May, Col. Donn de Grand Pre, Michael Collins Piper, myself have asked how America can achieve victory anywhere in the world when it is held in the grip of Zionists and corrupt minions who continually work for its destruction from within?

Zio-America's Zombie March Towards Stalingrad II

The highly respected American military analyst William S. Lind has published articles that explain how a possible "Stalingrad" analogy is coming into sharper view over time. After providing extracts from his work, I will try to supplement it with my own perspectives.

After the first Marine assault on Fallujah in April – an assault that was wisely abandoned, since it threatened to set off a nationwide uprising against the occupation – Pat Buchanan said that Fallujah will probably mark the high water line of neocon imperialism. I think the outcome of the second battle of Fallujah will confirm that prescient assessment. Just as Stalingrad marked the turning point in Fall Barbarossa, so Fallujah will go down in history as the "tipping point" in America's Last Crusade.

Hitler made a prime political objective out of maintaining an aura of "invincibility" for the Wehrmacht. His forces just had to take the "City named for Stalin" after he publicly declared it an objective. Politics now trumped tactical considerations, such as the fact that the "meat-grinder" reality of urban combat threw away the Wehrmacht's principle advantages in mobile warfare in open country. Germany was so outnumbered in men and material compared to the Soviets and their allies that it was insane to engage in any form of urban warfare for any extended period anywhere for Germany. Similarly, U.S. government leaders also appear obsessed with appearing "invincible. " Surrounded by a sea of hostile Muslims, Israel is especially concerned that America maintain this image. Zionist neocons in America are also using invincibility bluster to try to keep up the house of economic cards from collapsing. Despite all of this, America is engaged in an attritional land war in Asia --exactly what Gen. Douglas MacArthur warned President Kennedy about, while suffering economic as well as manpower disparities that make its Asian land war policies insane.

Ambassador Freeman is correct in his description of the consequences of America’s invasion of Iraq. It is America’s Syracuse Expedition. Just as Sparta was happy to see Athens waste its strength against a meaningless opponent, Syracuse, so al Qaeda regards our war in Iraq as a gift from Allah. Far from wanting to drive us out of Iraq (or Afghanistan), it prays we stay in both places indefinitely, our military bleeding from the death of one thousand cuts.

Hitler had other viable strategic options besides focusing on the Stalingrad meat-grinder. Given Germany's progress in developing the atomic bomb, as reflected in the work The Black Sun, he could have focused on conserving his forces to play for time. In addition, panzer mobile warfare was always at its best when it ignored fixed positions like Stalingrad and instead focused upon opportunistically slicing up and encircling the enemy into pockets in open country. Rather than sustain the attack into Stalingrad, it actually may have worked better for the German Army to have feigned retreat. Erwin Rommel did this repeatedly in North Africa, only to stage lightening counterattacks that surprised and sliced up his enemies. America has already obligated over three trillion dollars in its Iraq and Afghanistan misadventures. On a grand strategic level, that money would have been vastly better spent if invested if such alternative strategic objectives had been pursued as alternative energy, the mobile robotics revolution, and the general rebuilding of America's industrial base. Like the Greek Syracuse adventure, or Hitler's obsession with completely taking the city of Stalingrad, the Iraq-Af-Pak-Iran misadventure comprises "the greatest strategic disaster in American history," as former NSA Director LtGen William Odom so aptly put it.

For a military historian, the question arises: will history see Iraq as America’s Stalingrad? If we kick the analogy up a couple of levels, to the strategic and grand strategic, there are parallels. Both the German and the American armies were able largely to take, but not hold, the objective. Both had too few troops. Both Berlin and Washington underestimated their enemy’s ability to counter-attack. Both committed resources they needed elsewhere and could not replace to a strategically unimportant objective. Finally, both entrusted their flanks to weak allies – and to luck.Let us hope that, unlike von Paulus, our commanders know when to get out, regardless of orders from a leader who will not recognize reality.

Author's note: I view America's "strategic flanks' on a much more abstract level than something highly tangible like the Soviet armies which encircled von Paulus at Stalingrad, or possible Iranian and other Muslim forces that could envelop Americans following an attack on Iran. Our ultimate "flanks" are found within our economy. It could implode much like the former Soviet Union and leave the U.S. Government so broke that it may be tempted, like the Russians, to sell some aircraft carriers for cash. Over 80% of the armed force may get laid off. Most U.S. Air Force aircraft may have to reduce their sorties by over 70%, much like what happened with former Soviet forces in the early 1990's. America has virtually no gold reserves, and with the prospect of ever-skyrocketing debt, a worthless currency, and greatly reduced industrial capacity, America could find itself so broke that it can barely afford to feed the troops currently in Iraq and Afghanistan, much less afford to supply them with adequate ammunition, fuel, or spare parts.At that point, the threat of encirclement and annihilation by Muslim forces could become very real.

...We are propping up a shaky local regime in a civil war [in Iraq]. Our local allies are of dubious loyalty, and the surrounding population is not friendly. Our lines of communication, supply and retreat all run south, to Kuwait, through Shiite militia country. They then extend on through the Persian Gulf, which is called that for a reason. If those lines are cut, many of our troops have only one way out, the same way Xenophon took, up through Kurdish country and Asia Minor (now Turkey) to the coast.What is the chance that could happen? Higher than anyone in Washington or the senior military seems to think. Two events, separately or combined, pose a credible threat of severing our forces lines of communication. The first is an American or Israeli attack on Iran (Iran has publicly announced that it will respond to an Israeli attack as if the U.S. were also involved). Iran potentially could cut our supply lines by encouraging Iraqi Shiite militias to attack them, by infiltration into southern Iraq of the Revolutionary Guards, by attacking with the regular Iranian Army or by blocking the Persian Gulf with mines, coastal batteries and naval forces. Regarding the first option, a British journalist asked Mr. al-Hakim, leader of SCIRI and the Badr Brigades and a recent White House guest, what his militia would do if America attacked Iran. "Then," he replied, "we would do our duty."

The logistical nightmare in Afghanistan is even worse than in Iraq. Dr. Paul Craig Roberts reports that it costs $400 to deliver a gallon of gas in Afghanistan, and Eric Margolis reports that it costs the U.S. $1 million a year for every soldier it maintains in country. Despite this, Obama is surging more troops into Afghanistan. Increased guerilla activity has made it harder to truck supplies in through Pakistan. In fact, as Wayne Madsen noted regarding the December training bombing incident, America has had to negotiate new supply routes through Russian territory. Once Hitler's forces got encircled in Stalingrad by Soviet pincers, the Luftwaffe chief Herman Goering stated that the Luftwaffe could deliver adequate supplies by air so that the German Army could stay in place rather than immediately have to fight westward to link back up with friendly forces. . He was proven completely wrong, especially as the Soviet Air Force began to increasingly establish air superiority over the Stalingrad sector.

...Faced with the possibility of an Iranian strategic victory, courtesy of the American troops who overthrew Saddam, the U.S. government is likely to take the fool's way out, escalation. Inside the White House bubble, the argument for attacking Iran might become irresistible, driven as it would be by panic. As I have warned repeatedly, the outcome of such folly could very well include the loss of the American army now in Iraq, not to mention another doubling in the price of oil. As usual under the second-worst President in American history (Woodrow Wilson still ranks number one), we have seen the enemy, and he is us. All we have to do to get out of Iraq with some dignity while strengthening the government we installed there is push that government into ordering us home. That should be easy enough; what intransigence in the ongoing negotiations cannot achieve a few million Swiss francs should certainly manage. Instead, we will refuse to board the last train out, then blow up the railroad. If it were happening to someone else, it would all be comical.

...There is no chance America will adopt a defensive grand strategy or reform its military to move from the Second to the Third Generation – a necessary though not sufficient step in confronting 4GW – so long as the current Washington Establishment remains in power. That Establishment is drunk on hubris, cut off from the world beyond court politics and thoroughly corrupted by Pentagon "business as usual," which knows how to buy whatever political support it needs. Like all establishments, it sees any real change as a threat, to be avoided. So long as it reigns, nothing will change.What are the implications of these three observations? Militarily, they portend continued failure and defeat. We will fail to get out of Iraq before the next phase of that war begins, or, worse, an Israeli attack on Iran costs us the army we have in Iraq. We will be defeated in Afghanistan, because we will refuse to scale our strategic objectives to what is possible and we will continue to alienate the population with our firepower-intensive way of war. We will push Pakistan over the brink into disintegration, which will be a strategic catastrophe of the first order. We will ignore the disintegration of the state in Mexico, while importing Mexico's disorder through our ineffective border controls. We will not even be able to stop Somali pirates. What does it say about us when the whole nation rejoices because the U.S. Navy, the most powerful navy on earth, defeated four Somali teenagers?It does not end with this. These foreign policy failures and military defeats – or even more embarrassing "victories" – become just two of a larger series of crises, including the economic crisis (depression followed by runaway inflation), foreign exchange crisis (collapse of the dollar), political crisis (no one in the Establishment knows what to do, but the Establishment offers the voters no alternative to itself), energy crisis, etc. Together, these discrete crises snowball into a systemic crisis, which is what happens when the outside world demands greater change than the political system permits. At that point, the political system collapses and is replaced by something else. In the old days, it meant a change of dynasty. What might it mean today? My guess is a radical devolution, at the conclusion of which life is once again local.

Secession is in the air. In Texas, a Republican governor has dared breathe the word. Vermont has an active and growing secessionist movement. Oregon, Washington and British Columbia already call themselves Cascadia......The crisis of legitimacy of the state has not passed America by. Washington pretends to offer "democracy," but both parties are largely one party: the Establishment party. Its game is remaining the Establishment and enjoying the pleasures thereof, not governing the country. The only politics that count are court politics; America outside the beltway exists only as an annoying distraction. As both the economy and the culture crash, the Establishment says, "What is that to us?" A collapse of the American state is not impossible. But the lines along which most secessionists see it breaking up are overly optimistic. ..

The Taliban's air force recently delivered another devastating strike, hitting two fuel tanker trucks that had been captured by local Taliban-affiliated forces in northern Afghanistan. As usual, many civilians were killed, inflaming the local population against NATO forces in an area that had been relatively quiet. The air strike was thus not merely tactical but operational in its effects.As is always the case with the Taliban's air force, the air strike was a "pseudo-op." A pseudo-op is where one side dresses up in the other side's uniforms or otherwise duplicates his signatures, then does something that works against the goals of the simulated party.You say you did not know the Taliban had an air force? It has a very powerful air force, not restricted to traditional flying carpets but employing all the latest combat aircraft: F-15s, F-16s, F-18s, Harriers, Tornados, the works. That air force has been one of the main factors in the Taliban's resurgence. Many of the strike missions it has carried out have had positive results (for the Talibs) at the operational and moral levels, if not always at the tactical and physical levels of war.

Adolf Hitler was also his own worst enemy in terms of the very arrogant and abusive way he initially treated occupied Slavic peoples. Many historians believe that if he had supported nationalists in Ukraine and Belarus, to include arming their own national liberation armies, he would have had adequate forces to smash Stalin rather than get "Stalingraded." By the time Hitler realized his error and created a viable Russian Liberation Army in 1944, it was too little too late to affect the outcome of the war.Similarly Americans have been extremely heavy-handed in their treatment of Afghans. In late 2005, Australian journalist John Martinkus narrated the documentary "Psychological Warfare in Afghanistan: Atrocities committed under US Command." He stated:"This is how the Americans are now fighting in Afghanistan - loaded up with guns and loud music. The racks of speakers on top of this Humvee are a bizarre weapon dreamt up by the army's PsyOps unit - experts in psychological warfare. The idea is that the music will flush the Taliban out of their hiding places in the mountains....These soldiers have clearly been trained to denigrate and enrage Muslims. Such blatant disrespect for the corpses of their enemy is a breach of the Geneva Convention. It also heightens the perception of local people that the Americans are just as barbarous as the Taliban say they are." Eric Margolis reported in his 27 Oct 2009 article “Two Puppets Are Better Than One” how the U.S. efforts to develop "democracy" have been a joke Afghanistan:

As I predicted well before the August, 2009 election, it was all a great big fraud within a larger fraud designed to fool American, Canadian and European voters into believing democracy had flowered in Afghanistan. Cynical Afghans knew the vote would be rigged. Most Pashtun, the nation’s ethnic majority, didn’t vote at all, either from disgust with the Western-imposed Karzai regime, or because of threats by Taliban which damned the vote as a treasonous act. The "election" turned out to be a hugely embarrassing fiasco for Karzai and his Western backers. The Soviets were much more subtle when they rigged Afghan elections during their ten-year occupation. To no surprise, Hamid Karzai won. But his supporters went overboard in stuffing ballot boxes to avoid a possible runoff with rival Dr. Abdullah Abdullah, another American ally. The Karzai and Abdullah camps, both Washington’s men, were bitterly feuding over division of US aid and drug money that has totally corrupted Afghanistan. The vote was discredited, thwarting the Obama administration’s plans to use the election as justification for sending more troops to Afghanistan. So now the White House’s Plan B is to force its two feuding "assets," Karzai and Abdullah, into a coalition or "unity government." But two puppets on a string are no more effective than one – and maybe less so. In Afghanistan, ethnicity and tribe trump everything else. Karzai is a Pashtun, but has almost no roots in tribal politics. Most Pashtun see him as a Quisling and traitor.

The Washington Times ran a header above this story that said "Second Front." In fact, gangs such as La Familia are the first front. What is coming over our southern border is far more important to America's future security that any of our wars in sandboxes half a world away. The story quotes Attorney General Eric Holder as saying, "Indeed, while this cartel may operate from Mexico, the toxic reach of its operations extends to nearly every state within our own country."Real national security is security in our homes, neighborhoods and cities. Unfortunately, the Washington Establishment continues to define "national security" as attaining world dominion. So long as it does so, it will continue to prop open the door for La Familia and other gangs, both imported and home-grown, which understand that what is real is local.

The "Second Front" is a phrase used during World War II, whose second large-scale combat phase commenced with the Allied invasion of Normandy and the Allied sweep through France. The idea was that the Russians had inflicted enough casualties on the Germans --80% of their total casualties during the war-- that the Reich was now vulnerable to the opening up of a whole new major front in France. There is a growing risk that the U.S. military and economy will become so depleted as a consequence of its Iraq-Af-Pak-Iran misadventure that some time after a hyperinflationary depression hits and renders the dollar completely worthless, America will eventually come apart at the seams and be reformed into separate countries. Seen from this perspective, the Taliban might be viewed as fighting an indigenous person's "continuation war" against a neo-Jacobin federal empire that started in 1861. This may be a strained analogy, to be sure, but consider that various Cherokee Indian tribes fought for greater indigenous local self determination alongside the Confederacy, just as the Taliban is fighting for localized (mostly Pashtun) tribal sovereignty. Southern states also fought for their "indigenous" states' rights. There may be another possible "Second Front" forming with the rise of China. In the article "China’s Manifest Destiny" by Sascha Matuszak, December 26, 2009, the author quotes the Asia Times article "China’s unassailable power in Central Asia" by M.K. Bhdadrakumar:

China’s successes in Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan are attributed to "15 years of patient, painstaking diplomacy" that have finally reaped rewards in the form of increased energy security for an energy starved nation. The key here is that China’s energy security comes at the expense of Russia’s traditional dominance and America’s more recent foray into the Great Game. Most striking of all is the gross miscalculation by US strategists that Central Asian countries would be wary of China and feel safer striking deals with the US. Where they got this idea is beyond me: America and Russia have bombed Afghanistan into bits and pieces and the US is about to increase their troop presence to at least 30,000 and we are supposed to be a safer option than China?

A big part of the "strategic hell" of the Iraq-Af-Pak-Iran theater is the possibility that China could some day sit back and endlessly feed arms and ammunition to rebels who slowly but surely grind down America caught in the quicksand of the Gen. Douglas MacArthur nightmare of permanent land war in Asia. Continued leaks can sink battleships. America can get into even greater trouble if China ever returns the party favor that America showed the Russians by equipping the anti-Soviet Taliban with Stingers or by supplying today's insurgents with advanced anti-aircraft and anti-vehicular weapons. After all, the Stingers were a major reason why the Russians called it quits in Afghanistan.

The False Flag-Friendly "Derivative" Military

Having now explained America's mental-sclerotic repetition of Vietnam-related mistakes and its zombie march towards Stalingrad II, I would like to devote the remainder of this chapter towards applying towards the U.S. military the same kind of "derivative" analysis that I have already applied to other American institutions, such as Congress (Chapter 29), its financial system (Chapter 33) and its medical-big pharma complex (Chapter 36).For those who have come in late, as a refresher on how the "derivative" concept applies to false flag attacks, a "derivative" on Wall Street suggests a highly exploitive refinement of an underlying instrument designed to yield speculative gain. When we view this concept on a more abstract intellectual level and apply it to the military, a false flag attack is a "derivative" of a normal military exercise, used for speculative (quick) gain by the power elite. It parasitically feeds off public credulity created by honest military operations the same way that Wall Street derivatives parasitically feed off public credulity created by conservative financial investments and sound money systems. We can also apply the "derivative" concept to the U.S. military from other perspectives. For example, to extent that the U.S. military has become estranged from original citizen-soldier concepts that gave substance to the oath to protect and defend the U.S. Constitution, it can be more easily infiltrated and run by hostile foreign intelligence agencies like the Mossad. It is also less capable of challenging the growth of Evil Government. (
In Chapter 6 I provided a libertarian analysis regarding how limited government can transition into ponzi government and from there into evil government. False flag attacks are an important symptom of Evil Government.) Also, on a more artistic and philosophical level, the idea that members of a military force are willing to kill their own personnel to secure some tactical benefit has often been used as a motif of total depravity and stinking rottenness within military organizations. Some examples among fictional Hollywood movies include The Damned by Luchino Visconti, in which S.S. troops kill S.A. personnel in an allusion to the historic "Night of the Long Knives." Other examples include The McKenzie Break where German P.O.W's collapse a ceiling on their fellow prisoners to create a diversion to make an escape, The Eye of the Needle where an Abwehr agent stabs a fellow agent in order to create a distraction to aid an escape, The Cross of Iron, where a German commander machine-guns fellow soldiers returning from a patrol to kill potential whistle-blowers, and Paths of Glory, where a WWI French general deliberately orders a futile infantry assault to gain political points in French newspapers and later executes some soldiers as scapegoats for the failed attack who had the common sense not to waste themselves. As another example, Alexander Solzhenitsyn delivered an especially powerful indictment of the Soviet system when he described Stalin's vicious purge of his own officer corps. In Inside the Aquarium, Viktor Suvorov claims that a major reason why Soviet Military Intelligence grew so large relative to the KGB is because the Soviet high command felt it needed a large internal intelligence apparatus to protect itself from another possible purge conducted by the KGB.

A “derivative” military vulnerable to the 9/11 Mossad-CIA inside job typically reflects subversion by major special interests quietly at war with the rest of American society

Admiral Thomas Moorer, former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, once commented.

"I've never seen a President -- I don't care who he is -- stand up to [Israel] ... They always get what they want. The Israelis know what is going on all the time. I got to the point where I wouldn't write anything down. If the American people understood what a grip these people have got on our government, they would rise up in arms." (quoted by Richard Curtiss in A Changing Image: American Perceptions of the Arab-Israeli Dispute).

[Col.] John Boyd used to say, "It is not true the Pentagon has no strategy. It has a strategy, and once you understand what that strategy is, everything it does makes sense. The strategy is, don't interrupt the money flow, add to it." That was true before the Obama administration, it will be true while it is in office, and it will still be true when it ends. The people it has appointed to the Pentagon – again, Secretary Gates excepted – know the strategy, benefit from it and will continue it. They will defend it as if their future incomes depended on it, which, of course, they do.

At this stage in American history, the Pentagon is actually cutting its own throat over the long run by diverting funds towards wars and armaments that could instead be more wisely invested in rebuilding America’s industrial base, which has slipped from approximately a third of the economy to less than 10% in the last four decades. In the long run, military power correlates highly with domestic industrial capabilities.

A “derivative” military vulnerable to the 9/11 Mossad-CIA inside job typically plays “bait and switch” in terms of basic values in addition to permitting its exercises to go “live” as false flag attacks.

In his article “Surprised By Disaster” Fred Reed explains how America’s service academies promote authoritarian, militaristic thinking that is inconsistent with civilian “republican virtue” concepts that promote free thinking and genuine analysis. It is bad enough that even the American scientific community has significant problems achieving rationality, but the military establishment is even worse:

In re Afghanistan, why, you might ask, is the world’s hugest, expensivest, most begadgeted military unable to defeat a few thousand angry tribesmen armed with AKs and RPGs?Easy: Character. The men running the war are mentally the wrong ones to do it...what kind of kid wants to go for robot training at West Point or boat school at Annapolis? Statistically these kids are bright, gregarious, “motivated” (a favorite military word), athletic, perhaps Eagle Scouts. Psychologically they want (need?) to live under a regime of rigid conformity and obedience that would appear as absurd as it is if we were not accustomed to seeing it among soldiers. That is, they are autoselected not to think for themselves or question decisions from above. They are exactly what universities exist not to produce. The service academies reinforce these unfortunate characteristics. Their schooling consists of four years of learning what to think, not how to think. There are hours of running in formation (“If I die on the Russian front….”), close-order drill, manual of arms (“Hen-spection…harms!”). Why? There is no military value in being able to shift your rifle from shoulder to shoulder crisply. Like the endless inspections of everything, all of this participation in the hive inculcates groupishness and a curious sense of safety in conformity. The effects are remarkable and, from a standpoint of civilization, undesirable. Large authoritarian organizations make easier the compartmentalization of morality. A colonel typically will be a good neighbor, civic-minded, responsible, unlikely to steal your silverware or kick your dog. If the Pentagon tells him to bomb a city he has never heard of and has no reason to bomb, killing people who pose no threat to him, he will. He feels no individual responsibility for atrocious behavior ordered from above. “I vas only followink orders,” the Nuremberg defense, is the bedrock of military ethics, if any. ...America’s problem is not that its generals prepare for the last war, but that they don’t prepare for it, and then fight it again the same way.

This is same kind of compartmented mentality that can be duped into believing that Osama Bin Laden is still alive and well, or that one should never discuss Israeli influence over Congress or the Pentagon because it is “anti-Semitic,” or that we need to consider as potential terrorists such Americans at home as demonstrators, returning Iraq veterans, and anti-abortionists. This same mentality often finds it hard to comprehend how the hallmark of a true patriot is one who can take a stand against his own misguided government.Early American citizen-soldiers had strong ties to ethnic civilian communities with deep cultural and historical roots, such as the New England Puritans, Pennsylvania "Dutch," and Scottish Clans, and other groups identified in the book Albion's Seed. These communities provided important alternative moral and political compass points outside military organizations. In contrast, most Americans today who join the military come from a multi-racial, multi-cultural, Zionist-programmed society where they have been "ethnically cleansed" on a psychological level. They often adopt the military as their surrogate father figure, much like the way lab chimps resort to "terry cloth mothers" in the place of the original. Despite all the talk about adhering to the Constitution and " ethics," all too many military personnel are socially, economically, and emotionally incapable of taking an independent stand from anyone at the highest level --particularly Zionist neocons like Paul Wolfowitz or Richard Perle --who order them to commit and cover up war crimes, or engage in other behavior that is fundamentally destructive to traditional American conservative values. Ironically, many recruiting ads for the services appeal to basic values such as "patriotism," "honor," and "valor." They also frequently invoke early American patriotic symbols. However, once on active duty, many servicemen discover that these appeals were made merely as empty platitudes, and the real values practiced by the military are simply whatever orders are passed down from above --starting with high level Zionist neocons. In the13 Jan 2010 interview by Dr. James Fetzer with Carl Herman titled "Iraq, Iran, and the CIA," Herman referenced his article "National Guard ad revives Nazi oath to Hitler: `Always place mission first,' not US Constitution."

In 2003, the US Army adapted the “Soldier’s Creed” to program soldiers to shift their Oath of Enlistment from “support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic,” to the heel-clicking, non-thinking, dictator-obeying, “I will always place the mission first.”This directly states that the FIRST duty of an American soldier is to achieve the mission dictated by military leadership, NOT the defense of the US Constitution. Brain-washing soldiers to place the mission first, that is, “just follow orders” given by der Fuehrer (“the leader” in German) rather than being responsible for obeying the Constitution and laws of war dramatizes the US shift into fascism.This fascist propaganda is highlighted in the National Guard’s new 2-minute ad playing in movie theaters, shown below. Nazi German soldiers had such an oath: "I swear by God this sacred oath that I shall render unconditional obedience to Adolf Hitler, the Führer of the German Reich, supreme commander of the armed forces, and that I shall at all times be prepared, as a brave soldier, to give my life for this oath."Another way to say this: “I will always place the mission first, as dictated by the Commander-in-Chief, Adolf Hitler.The US Soldier’s Creed states the Army Values; its first component is “loyalty” to the US Constitution. But the creed and the new commercial favors “place the mission first” in its communication rather than “protect and defend the US Constitution.” And again, stating the "mission" dictated by the leader is first rather than the US Constitution is revealing.

I am an American Soldier.
I am a Warrior and a member of a team.
I serve the people of the United States, and live the Army Values.I will always place the mission first.
I will never accept defeat.
I will never quit.
I will never leave a fallen comrade.
I am disciplined, physically and mentally tough, trained and proficient in my warrior tasks and drills.
I always maintain my arms, my equipment and myself.
I am an expert and I am a professional.
I stand ready to deploy, engage, and destroy, the enemies of the United States of America in close combat.
I am a guardian of freedom and the American way of life.
I am an American Soldier.

Another way to say this: “I will always place the mission first, as dictated by the Commander-in-Chief, President (blank).”“I will always place the mission first, as dictated by the Commander-in-Chief, Adolf Hitler.”“I will always place the mission first, as dictated by the Commander-in-Chief, President X.”Beyond any reasonable doubt, current US wars are unlawful. Stop and research this if you are unclear on the simple rules of lawful war and why the US is in obvious violation. You cannot argue you are a responsible citizen if you do not understand these laws that govern trillions of our long-term tax dollars and so dramatically affect millions of lives...

Carl Herman's emphasis on an ultimate duty to higher law appears to be slanted towards the anarcho-libertarian perspective. One can also feel a higher loyalty to an ancestral community, or "the national interest," both of which reflect more of a paleoconservative viewpoint. Either way, the main area where I agree with Carl Herman is my concern about how the "I will always place the mission first" provision of "The Soldier's Creed" can be exploited by Zionist neocons up the chain of command who are working against America's national interests in furtherance of New World Order dictatorship.

This ad suggests an ideologically "derivative" military establishment on at least four major counts

In the ad above, the "salt and pepper" couples, the tripe about "Reveal Character," and the mention of a job description for a "Corrections Officer --Internment/Resettlement Specialist" suggests at least four ways, even if only a subliminal level, that the U.S. National Guard has become 180 degrees removed from traditional American conservative warrior values, and hence highly "derivative."First, the soldier is sworn to protect and defend the Constitution. Yet we can image a scenario where a tyrannical President orders a national martial law crack down with the intent of stripping political dissidents of their constitutional rights by herding them into FEMA camps. We can also imagine it likely that National Guard soldiers trained as "Corrections Officers --Internment/Resettlement Specialists" would be the first called upon to assist in abrogating Constiutional rights for others.Secondly, throughout history most human societies have been tribal. Most tribes are racially and ethnically homogeneous, since they evolve as extended families. Most warriors serve their tribal interests, which typically means defending not only their physical territory, but such intangible territory as shared "culture," "religion," and "ethnicity." Warriors also historically defend the "tangibles" of "race" and the reproductive capacity of their womenfolk. Historically, one of the greatest humiliations a warrior can face is to watch the women folk of his tribe either get raped by aliens, or voluntarily abandon him for members of an alien tribe. Conversely, aggressors have historically sought to "kill the men and rape the women." In the article "Why Nations Fight," Jan 1991 American Renaissance, William Robertson Boggs comments: "Men fight and die for their people and way of life because there is nothing more horrible than cultural and national obliteration." Black people have enormous ethnic-genetic distance relative to whites and have never organically evolved within a similar tribal setting. In 19th century America, showing two couples consisting of black men with white women in uniform would have been considered a cruel joke at best for recruiting white people into military service, since from their frame of reference it would have symbolized the worst and most degrading form of defeat imaginable. Third, throughout history traditional societies have been extremely reluctant to expose women to combat. A major reason is that women comprise a major evolutionary constraint on reproduction. One man can theoretically impregnate 100 women to produce 100 babies within a year, but 100 men cannot produce more than one baby if only one woman is left. Therefore, when it comes to war, men are vastly more expendable than women in a traditional society conscious of reproductive constraints. Conversely, whenever a tribe seeks to wipe out another tribe, historically the first thing they focus upon is killing as many women as possible. Hence, for the U.S. military to depict women recruits in camouflage field attire alongside a male soldier, is a major abberation by historical standards. Male warriors historically exist to protect women and keep them in the rear, not have them serve side-by-side. Fourth, the slogan "Refine Talent, Reveal Character, Realize Potential" displayed in the context of the salt-and-pepper pair, not to mentioned the broader political context of state national guard units who have been commandeered by Feds to fight a bogus "Global War on Terror" for Israel in the Middle East, all of this would have come across as pure Orwellian double-speak to most white American soldiers who ever lived between the early colonial era up until the forced school integration of the mid-1960's. Most would agree that real "character" would consist of resisting the Zombie March to Stalingrad II, the domestic police state, and the Zionist New World Order agenda for the obliteration of all nationalities and ethnic-genetic interests under a One World Government.

A “derivative” military vulnerable to the 9/11 Mossad-CIA inside job is a heavily micro-managed 2nd generation operation lacking in the decentralized decision-making ability and initiative necessary to successfully wage 3rd and 4th generation warfare.

In his article “Keeping Our Infantry Alive,” William Lind describes how American infantry tactics remain fairly primitive along Second Generation lines:

…virtually all American infantry are trained in Second Generation tactics. The Second Generation reduces all tactics to one tactic: bump into the enemy and call for fire. The French, who invented the Second Generation, summarize it as, "Firepower conquers, the infantry occupies." The supporting firepower, originally artillery, now most often airstrikes, must be massive. If it is not -- as is now the case in Afghanistan, under General McChrystal's directive -- the infantry is in trouble. Everything it has been taught depends on fire support it no longer has. Inevitably, its casualties will rise, and it will often lose engagements.

In my centralization vs. decentralization discussion, I explain how decentralized decision-making can be vitally important even within a military environment: It is interesting how one can find examples of "decentralization" even within the context of what appear to be highly regimented, hierarchical, military behemoths. In "On War #12" William Lind described an interesting paradox where Nazis encouraged forms insubordination within their own armed forces:

...A Third Generation military focuses outward, on the situation, the enemy, and the result the situation requires, not inward on process and method (in war games in the 19th Century, German junior officers were routinely given problems that could only be solved by disobeying orders). Orders themselves specify the result to be achieved, but never the method ("Auftragstaktik"). Initiative is more important than obedience (mistakes are tolerated, so long as they come from too much initiative rather than too little), and it all depends on self-discipline, not imposed discipline. The Kaiserheer and the Wehrmacht could put on great parades, but in reality they had broken with the culture of order.

I have already addressed Constitutional issues in Chapter 6 and explained in Chapter 29 and Chapter 31 why I believe the oath to protect the Constitution is "necessary but not sufficient" to deal with growing crises in America. The military is a coercive instrument of government in a country that is already suffering the stifling effects of unlimited central government. It is joined at the hip with Mossad-CIA in a country where Zionists manipulate its racial and ethnic problems in all the worst ways. Amidst this terrible mess, the military may eventually feel pressured to step in and take over whether it feels prepared or not.Unfortunately we face crises on many different levels. In addition to having to deal with the innate criminality of Zionists coming down from the top, the U.S. military is also getting squeezed by rising levels of incompetence and unfitness from the lower strata of society. All these things severely impair the ability of the military to employ rational "loose-tight" balances between centralization and decentralization in fulfilling its various missions, analogous to the "loose-tight" management concepts advocated by Thomas J. Peters and Robert H. Waterman in the book In Search of Excellence. Just in terms of demographic issues, consider “75 Percent of Young Americans Are Unfit for Military Duty” by Andrea Stone:

WASHINGTON (Nov. 3) -- Are America's youth too fat, dumb or dishonest to defend the nation against its enemies? The latest Army statistics show a stunning 75 percent of military-age youth are ineligible to join the military because they are overweight, can't pass entrance exams, have dropped out of high school or had run-ins with the law. So many young people between the prime recruiting ages of 17 and 24 cannot meet minimum standards that a group of retired military leaders is calling for more investment in early childhood education to combat the insidious effects of junk food and inadequate education. "We've never had this problem of young people being obese like we have today," said Gen. John Shalikashvili, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. He calls the rising number of youth unfit for duty a matter of national security. "We should be concerned about how this will impact this overstretched Army and its ability to recruit."

...Only 4.7 million of the 31.2 million 17- to 24-year-olds in a 2007 survey are eligible to enlist, according to a periodic survey commissioned by the Pentagon. This group includes those who have scored in the top four categories on the Armed Forces Qualification Test, or AQFT; eligible college graduates; and qualified college students.According to the Pentagon, the ineligible population breaks down this way:•Medical/physical problems, 35 percent.•Illegal drug use, 18 percent.•Mental Category V (the lowest 10 percent of the population), 9 percent.•Too many dependents under age 18, 6 percent.•Criminal record, 5 percent.

The dumbing down trend in America and rising poverty will only increase unless major changes are made that address all the hard issues ranging from Zionist criminality to the genocide and biological replacement of Nordic-Celtic Americans. Until dangerous deteriorative trends are reversed, this country has no future. Fervent oaths spoken like mantras to “Protect and Defend the Constitution Against all enemies, foreign and domestic…” may be a good start, but that is all they are.

A “derivative” military vulnerable to the 9/11 Mossad-CIA inside job contains corrupt insiders who personally profit in more ways than one

In today’s America, Karl Marx’s criticisms of capitalism are understated. Wherever one looks, the scene is one of the government using taxpayers’ money to enrich private interests. Taxes are collected from people who can barely make it, and the revenues are transferred to multi-millionaires and billionaires. The federal government piles debt on the backs of heavily-burdened and dispossessed Americans in order that investment banksters can pay annual bonuses that exceed the lifetime earnings of most Americans.Every aspect of the US military has been mined for private profit. Supply and other functions for the military, such as those provided by Halliburton and Blackwater, services once provided by the military itself at low cost, have been privatized. These services now cost many multiples of the cost to taxpayers of in-house military provision.

A derivative military also has problems from within. It encourages "careerism" and "Caesarism." Wikipedia redirects the input of “Caesarism” to “The Decline of the West” where we see the following definition:

“Caesarism is essentially the death of the spirit that originally animated a nation and its institutions. It is marked by a government which is formless irrespective of its de jure constitutional structure. The antique forms are dead, despite the careful maintenance of the institutions; those institutions now have no meaning or weight. The only aspect of governance is the personal power exercised by the Caesar. This is the beginning of the Imperial Age.”

The common denominator behind both of these definitions is someone who “games the system” to get promoted, gain fame, and reap other personal benefits while doing things that degrade the military or society as a whole. There is a parasitic quality to this individual, even though he operates within the gray areas of policy decisions where it may be impossible to convict him of breaking any specific laws. A derivative military has little or no respect for the kinds of whistle-blowers and Info War martyrs depicted in Chapter 14. In most cases the “Forward Edge of the Battle Area” (FEBA) on this issue involves freedom of speech issues. Please see my article “The First Amendment and the U.S. Military” about battles fought by famous U.S. military leaders in this regard. Generally speaking, the military is a victim of problems found across all segments of American society. The Zionist media has pushed American society hard in the direction of extreme leftist egalitarianism. High level Jewish psychopaths have also set the tone for American society in many other areas, to include mainstreaming homosexuality and hardcore pornography. As a consequence, most Americans today find it much harder than two centuries ago to judge character. This is true both on an individual level, as well as on a broader ethnic and racial level. Some groups like Zionists are notoriously lacking in chivalrous instincts, which comprise an important component of Western concepts of honor. The ability to judge character is particularly important in a military environment that often requires sterling traits such as honor and integrity to accomplish tough missions. Both psychopaths --people without core values-- as well as blindly obediant individuals --people who are inflexible -- act as mines and booby traps for individuals dedicated to a life of honor, courage, and commitment.Honorable individual who genuinely want to find the appropriate balance between the competing needs of our nation as a whole and military departmental interests, as well as adhere to high standards in other areas, have to learn how to smell problem people from a distance in order to successfully navigate around them. Among other things, in order to preserve the capability to be an effective whistle-blower, it is also very beneficial for a serviceman to develop solid civilian community support, particularly among individuals who can act as proxies on sensitive political issues. Implementing
a viable strategy to protect honor often requires patience, foresight,
self-education, and networking skills, especially when it comes to
dealing with the "civilian" side of the "citizen-soldier"
equation. But then again, no one promised a rose garden.

The euphemisms will come fast and furious. Our soldiers will be greeted
as "heroes" who, as
in Iraq, left with their "heads held high," and if in 2014 or
2015 or even 2019, the last of them, as
also in Iraq, slip away in the dark of night after lying to their
Afghan "allies" about their plans, few here will notice.

This will be the nature of the great Afghan drawdown. The words "retreat,"
"loss," "defeat," "disaster," and their siblings
and cousins won’t be allowed on the premises. But make no mistake, the
country that, only years ago, liked to call itself the globe’s "sole superpower"
or even "hyperpower," whose leaders dreamed of a Pax Americana
across the Greater Middle East, if not the rest of the globe is… not to put
too fine a point on it, packing its bags, throwing in the towel, quietly admitting
– in actions, if not in words – to mission unaccomplished, and heading if not
exactly home, at least boot by boot off the Eurasian landmass.

Washington has, in a word, had enough. Too much, in fact. It’s
lost its appetite for invasions and occupations of Eurasia, though special operations
raids, drone wars, and cyberwars still look deceptively
cheap and easy as a means to control… well, whatever. As a result,
the Afghan drawdown of 2013-2014, that implicit acknowledgement of yet
another lost war, should set the curtain falling on the American Century
as we’ve known it. It should be recognized as a landmark, the moment in
history when the sun truly began to set on a great empire. Here in the
United States, though, one thing is just about guaranteed: not many are going
to be paying the slightest attention.

No one even thinks to ask the question: In the mighty battle lost, who exactly
beat us? Where exactly is the triumphant enemy? Perhaps we should
be relieved that the question is not being raised, because it’s a hard one to
answer. Could it really have been the scattered jihadis of al-Qaeda
and its wannabes? Or the various modestly armed Sunni and Shiite minority
insurgencies in Iraq, or their Pashtun equivalents in Afghanistan with their
suicide bombers and low-tech roadside bombs? Or was it something more
basic, something having to do with a planet no longer amenable to imperial expeditions?
Did the local and global body politic simply and mysteriously spit us out as
the distasteful thing we had become? Or is it even possible, as Pogo once
suggested, that in those distant, unwelcoming lands, we met the enemy
and he was us? Did we in some bizarre fashion fight ourselves and lose?
After all, last year, more American servicemen died
from suicide than on the battlefield in Afghanistan; and a startling number
of Americans were killed in "green on blue" or "insider"
attacks by Afghan "allies" rather than by that fragmented
movement we still call the Taliban.

Whoever or whatever was responsible, our Afghan disaster was remarkably foreseeable.
In fact, anyone who, from 2006 on, read Ann Jones’s Afghan reports at TomDispatch
wouldn’t have had a doubt about the outcome of the war. Her first
piece, after all, was prophetically entitled "Why It’s Not Working
in Afghanistan." ("The answer is a threefold failure: no peace,
no democracy, and no reconstruction.") From Western private-contractors-cum-looters
making a figurative killing
off the "reconstruction" of the country to an Afghan army that was
largely a figment
of the American imagination to up-armored U.S. soldiers on well-guarded bases
whose high-tech equipment and comforts of home blinded
them to the nature of the enemy, hers has long been a tale of impending failure.
Now, that war seems headed for its predictable end, not for the Afghans who,
as Jones indicates in her latest sweeping report from Kabul, may face terrible
years ahead, but for the U.S. After more than 11 years, the war that is
often labeled the
longest in American history is slowly winding down and that’s no small
thing.

So leave the mystery of who beat us to the historians, but mark the
moment. It’s historic. Tom..

While no one was looking, the US lost the war in Afghanistan. The
announcement
that joint operations involving US/NATO forces and Afghan military
and police personnel will cease — “temporarily” — went down with a
whimper, not a bang. Since the whole
purpose of our continued presence in that country is supposedly
to train the forces of Afghan “President”
Hamid Karzai, the entire rationale for the war just fell apart, and
isn’t it funny — as in funny-weird, rather than funny-ha-ha — that
nobody noticed?

Well, not really:
we’re in campaign mode, and neither major party presidential
candidate is much interested in the subject of a war we’ve
been fighting for over a decade, at a cost measured in the trillions
(aside from the incalculable human misery). Mitt Romney is mum, and
the President has more
important matters to consider. Since Romney’s
foreign policy team favors a policy rejected by the overwhelming
majority of the American people, it’s no wonder their
candidate has little to say about it. As for Obama: remember when he
and his platoon of “national security Democrats” were
telling us Afghanistan was the “good war”? Now that its
goodness seems to have dissipated with voters, the administration
would rather not remind Americans how much Obama deepened that
particular quagmire.

As for the voters
themselves: the same people who told pollsters they supported
the war in the earlier part of the decade are now telling the same
pollsters they want out. The American attention span has been
getting shorter over the past decade, and if only we can get them to
the point of being bored with the next war before it begins, we’ll
be — literally — ahead of the game.

Speaking of losing
while no one was looking: whatever happened to Iraq? Oh yes, now I
remember: it became a satellite of Iran just after the US presence
was officially — albeit not actually — ended. In a
country where nearly 5,000 American soldiers died in a war to export
“democracy,” the elected vice president is on the lam and death squads roam the streets — no, not our death squads
this time.

This is yet another
disaster not to be noticed or even mentioned by our political class —
including not only the politicians but also the news media
and the commentariat that make careers out of covering up for and
sucking up to Official Washington. The policy wonks, the Approved
Pundits, the publicists and professional agitators of the left and
the right — when will we hear a peep out of any them about
these dismal and costly failures? After the election? My guess:
never.

And that’s just how the War Party likes it. They don’t want anyone
asking uncomfortable questions about future wars, especially the looming
conflict just around the next corner. (Turn
right at Election Day, and head straight to Tehran.) But my question
is broader, and it’s this: when was the last time the US actually
won a war?...[more here]

[Excerpted] KALU VALLEY, Afghanistan — If there is a road to
a happy ending in Afghanistan, much of the path may run underground:
in the trillion-dollar reservoir of natural resources — oil,
gold, iron ore, copper, lithium and other minerals — that has
brought hopes of a more self-sufficient country, if only the wealth
can be wrested from blood-soaked soil....

...Further, a proposed mining law vital to attracting foreign investment
is up in the air, with the delay threatening several projects. The
cabinet rejected it this summer, saying it was too generous to Western
commercial interests. But some Western officials fear other motives
are at work, too, including an internal fight for spoils, and perhaps
an effort by some neighboring countries to sway sympathetic officials
to keep Indian and Chinese state mining companies out....

Majia here: Read between the lines. A proposed mining law "vital
to attracting foreign investment" means that it essentially makes
it easy for foreign companies to come in and extract Afghanistan's
wealth.

Apparently some in Afghanistan aren't too keen on that scenario.
Maybe the Chinese and Indian companies are promising Afghanistan officials
a sweeter deal than western interests? Western officials "fear"
that outcome. The gold and other resources need to be reserved for
western companies.

I'm not claiming that foreign direct investment by western companies
is inherently bad. However, ever heard of the "resource curse"?

Poor countries with coveted resources rarely come out ahead when
their spoils are exploited by foreign interests....

The US is in Afghanistan for exactly the same reason the Russians
tried to invade the country in the 80's .

There exists vast oil and gas deposits near the Caspian sea, with
no easy way to transport it. An oil/gas pipeline has been proposed
for many years across Afghanistan to Pakistan, India and the Arabian
sea.

After the Russians were ousted from Afghanistan - largely by jihadists
like OBL that were externally funded - then the project was open to
other parties.

In 1995 the project was initiated as a consortium by the US and Saudis.
The prime contractor was - you guessed it - Halliburton corp!!!! Actual
construction work began in 1997.

In 1998, however the Taliban and OBL decided that their financial
stake in the project had gotten too small, so they threw out the foreign
corporations, and stopped the construction.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trans-Afghanistan_Pipeline

Is this starting to sound fishy yet? In October 2001, just a few
weeks after the Sept 11 bombings, the US invaded Afghanistan, threw
out the Taliban, and immediately initiated plans to restart the pipeline
construction.

However, due to almost continuous insurgent activity (externally
funded - coincidence? i don't think so - more like paybacks) and strong
negotiations around revenue sharing, construction has met many delays
and just now in 2012 all the agreements are reached.

In the meantime, the Iranians have announced their own pipeline project
which is a shorter distance and can be completed more quickly, and
they quickly signed a deal with Pakistan and India.

The US and Saudi Arabia has put considerable pressure on Pakistan
to abandon the Iranian pipeline project, and support theirs through
Afghanistan.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran–Pakistan_gas_pipeline

Without success in getting Pakistan to reject the Iranian deal, the
US started putting pressure directly on Iran to abandon the project.
And that pressure has led to the threat of war, however the American
public has been adamant that no more wars will be waged, so the CIA
has been deployed to try and create civil unrest and overthrow the
Iranian government, and also has been accused of assassinating Iranian
nuclear scientists.

And you thought: 1. The Afghanistan war was about terrorism? 2. The
Iranian threat of war is about nuclear power?

Wrong. As in most lies, there is some element of truth to both, but
the real reason is the same as always - money and power over money.

When you start understanding this, then the whole "nuclear agenda"
is not so far-fetched. The question is how people can be so ruthless.

It's a strange world we live in...

[Ed. Note: Please also see 2010-11-11 In
Motion: The Plot to Destroy the United States, veteranstoday.com
posted below]"...WHY
PAKISTAN HAS TO FALLThere
is simply no way into Iran by land. We can barely keep American troops
in Afghanistan supplied with many routes being hundreds of miles long,
narrow roads from the Port of Karachi in Pakistan. Recently we found
how easily this supply line could be cut off. Agreements with Iran,
not to mention religious affiliations between Shiites in Iraq, the
majority there and the Shiite based government in Iran, make an approach
through Iraq impossible.We
could also consider that our existing forces in Iraq and the entire
Persian Gulf could be cut off by Iran with no resupply by sea possible
for, not only Iraq but Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait and Iraq. These nations
and the US forces there would be immediately isolated. The only way
in to Iran, restricted because of the topography, is through the province
of Baluchistan, a remote area of Pakistan that borders Iran.BALOCHISTANThis
isolated region has become the staging area for attacks against Iran,
supposedly by Jundallah “rebels” but actually orchestrated
by the Mossad and CIA. There are two independence movements wanting
to break Baluchistan from Pakistan. One of the leaders I met in Islamabad
while he was recovering from gunshot wounds. The other lives in Israel,
surprise-surprise.Because
of the topography of Iran, the only way to approach Tehran is over
more than a thousand miles of valleys. They can only be approached
through Pakistan and there is only one port that serves that region.
The only way to resupply other than through this small Chinese built
port, Gwadar, is to truck into Kandahar, hundreds of miles, then back
down into Pakistan, following the 500,000 man army into Iran in something
closely akin to Napoleon’s ill fated invasion of Russia, but
even worse if that is possible.The
military analogies are inescapable, Dien Bien Phu and Stalingrad are
two that come to mind. Though the government of Pakistan lacks strong
civilian leadership and is largely dependent on US aid, the use of
Pakistan’s territory for another aggressive war in the Middle
East that will perceived by almost all the world’s population,
not just Muslims, as a sign of Israel’s control of the United
States and its ability to get America to commit any crime, will not
be acceptable to the people of Pakistan. It is also highly unlikely
that even Karzai’s government in Afghanistan would abide such
an action.Thus,
America could become beset, not just from Pakistan but by its own
allies in Afghanistan and, quite possibly, the newly trained and surprisingly
effective army in Iraq as well.America
would become a rogue state, even if purporting to respond to a devastating
terrorist attack. In the aftermath of 9/11, America lacks any credibility.
The second a disaster strikes inside America, the world will immediately
assume the worst, Israel has deemed such an act necessary to push
America to war. No rational person could assume otherwise..."

- Failed War from a False Empire by "Sartre"

whistleblower emerges from the US military as retired Lt. Colonel
Daniel Davis accused US military leaders of painting a distorted picture
of Afghanistan, presstv.ir. "Another
whistleblower emerges from the US military as retired Lt. Colonel
Daniel Davis accused US military leaders of painting a distorted picture
of Afghanistan.Press
TV has interviewed Wayne Madsen, investigative journalist in Washington
about the accusations of lies fed to the American public. He discusses
startling revelations about the drug lords in Afghanistan and their
relationship to President Karzai and the US Special Forces and US
marines. What follows is an approximate transcript of the interview.Press
TV: why is it that whenever a military official resigns or
suddenly comes out of the US armed forces a secret is revealed about
what happens behind the scenes. The questions is will we be expecting
more of these unraveling stories?Madsen:
Well, it’s hard to say. What happens is when somebody in the
military or intelligence community comes forward with allegations
of corruption, malfeasance or incompetence they’re usually rewarded
with a huge amount of pressure. In some cases investigations open
up for revealing classified information.So,
there is a certain chill factor that sets in with these individuals,
but Colonel Davis certainly isn’t the first one to acknowledge
and report on the fact that the Afghanistan campaign was flawed from
the beginning.A
large part of the responsibility for what happened in Afghanistan,
the failure of US policy lies at the feet of General David Petraeus
as he said. But unfortunately, Colonel Davis will now find it a very
tough road to go down while General Petraeus on the other hand was
rewarded for his incompetence by being made the director of the Central
Intelligence Agency, CIA.Press
TV: It’s interesting that there are reports from US
marines in Afghanistan that are protecting poppy fields and are somehow
contributing to the drug trade. What do you know about this and in
general the relationship between US forces and the drug trade in Afghanistan?Madsen:
Well, this has been reported before that US Special Forces
and marines have been involved in protecting the poppy fields that
are controlled by various Afghan war lords who depending on what day
of the week it is support the US. Some of these war lords of course
are connected through family links to President Hamid Karzai.This
goes to show that the US has never learned its lesson from past military
adventures, for example, in South East Asia during the Indo-China
war the US and the CIA was very instrumental in smuggling opium and
heroin out of the Golden Triangle some of which found its way into
Saigon and was unfortunately used by many US troops there that got
hooked on heroin.The
same thing is taking place now with Afghanistan. Anytime you’ve
got drugs involved with the CIA you’ve got basically slush fund
accounts where the CIA has access to massive amounts of money, there’s
no accountability, no oversight by Congress.This
is an old old story that goes back when the CIA was first formed in
1947 and unfortunately the CIA is still very much the same way today
with the drug smuggling operations.Press
TV: With all this being said, what future do you seen with
the US presence in Afghanistan? How will it end do you think?Madsen:
I think we know from history that Afghanistan has been the graveyard
of the empires: Alexander the Great; certainly the British were defeated
there; the Russians were defeated there; and it’s not going
to have a very good outcome for the US.But
in the short term, with all this war talk about a war with Iran, you
can be assured that the US military presence in Afghanistan will remain
in the short term because this is part of a strategy to encircle Iran.So,
in the short term US troops will continue to die in Afghanistan and
Colonel David, what he has to say, will be proven unfortunately very
very correct."

2010-09-13 Blackwater./Xe
cells conducting false flag terrorist attacks in Pakistan,
by Wayne Madsen"WMR
has learned from a deep background source that Xe Services, the company
formerly known as Blackwater, has been conducting false flag terrorist
attacks in Pakistan that are later blamed on the entity called "Pakistani
Taliban."Only
recently did the US State Department designate the Tehrik-i-Taliban
Pakistan (TTP), also known as the Pakistani Taliban, a terrorist group.
The group is said by the State Department to be an off-shoot of the
Afghan Taliban, which had links to "Al Qaeda" before the
9/11 attacks on the United States. TTP's leader is Hakimullah Mehsud,
said to be 30-years old and operating from Pakistan's remote tribal
region with an accomplice named Wali Ur Rehman. In essence, this new
team of Mehsud and Rehman appears to be the designated replacement
for Osama Bin Laden and Ayman Zawahiri as the new leaders of the so-called
"Global Jihad" against the West.However,
it is Xe cells operating in Karachi, Peshawar, Islamabad and other
cities and towns that have, according to our source who witnessed
the U.S.-led false flag terrorist operations in Pakistan. Bombings
of civilians is the favored false flag event for the Xe team and are
being carried out under the orders of the CIA.However,
the source is now under threat from the FBI and CIA for revealing
the nature of the false flag operations in Pakistan. If the source
does not agree to cooperate with the CIA and FBI, with an offer of
a salary, the threat of false criminal charges being brought for aiding
and abetting terrorism looms over the source..."[Editor's
Note: Please don't lose sight of the concept that all of the aforementioned
false flag-related activities are simply one of the most vile forms
of rent-seeking
imaginable, very much consistent with the Jewish mentality that has
taken over America since the 20th century, but totally inconsistent
with the Protestant work ethic that once valued honesty, productive
innovation, and the creation of real goods and services back when
WASP's set the tone for America in the 19th century. For more discussion

were once mostly eradicated by the Taliban? American intervention

2010-04-24 A
Tale of Carriers by Fred Reed, lewrockwell.com archive.
The U.S. Navy is imprisoned inside its own escalating, bureaucratic,
special interest-ridden Zombie March. It is always psychologically
refighting WWII carrier battles, and keeps building bigger and ever
more expensive super carriers in the face of the following growing
threats:
1. Very fast sea-skimming cruise missiles, such as the Brahmos and
Brahmos II
(Mach 5+).
2. Supercavitating
torpedoes, reaching speeds of over 200 miles an hour.
3. Very quiet submarines, diesel-electrics in the case of poor countries.
4. Anti-ship
ballistic missiles, such as the one attributed to the Chinese.Reed
comments: "Any military buff knows that the Navy cannot defend
itself against these. It says it can. It has to say it can. In fleet
exercises against submarines, the subs always win – easily."
One
can argue that U.S. carriers were vastly more effective than they
should have been even in the WWII Pacific theater because the Japanese
seriously neglected their own sub force, partly due to a cultural
quirk when the Japanese sub force "lost face" due to some
screw-ups during the Pearl Harbor attack.

it is desperately in need of the equivalent of Vatican
II which, in the early 1960s, opened the Catholic Church
to greater participation by the laity, a vitally important change
in ethos. Instead of continuing to pray at the altar of their
particular services, we need our Pentagon `priests' to turn to the
laity — us — and seek our input and sanction. Instead
of preaching in unintelligible Pentagonese, with its indecipherable
acronyms, secret doctrines, and spidery codenames, it’s long
past time for them to talk to us in a language that reasonably informed
adults can understand..."
2010-03-15 Down
the Rabbit Hole in Afghanistan by Alan Bock "The
notion that the great
American offensive to capture the Afghan outpost of Marjah was
more public
relations propaganda than military strategy or even effective
counter-insurgency first began to impinge itself when U.S. and –
to a lesser extent – Afghan officials started
talking about it weeks before
it was to take place. If it had been a real military offensive,
you would think, they would have wanted the element of surprise. Instead,
they informed
the Taliban in advance that they would be coming." Thanks
to this advance warning, Marines supposedly had to thread their way
through even more mines, IED's, and ambushes. This makes one wonder
if certain American leaders have decided that their mission in Afghanistan
is futile, so they are now simply "play acting" with the
Taleban, giving the appearance of waging a war, while playing
for time, "campaigning," "soldiering on," and
pulling PR stunts.

the Dragon Awake? China responds to US provocations by

the U.S. government becomes so hard up it has to sell off naval assets
to pay its bill, and can no longer afford to support its military
forces in the Middle East, this might be the time when dragon triggers
a war and completes the Stalingrad II trap.

Petraeus: Afghan War Will Take Longer Than Iraq CENTCOM Commander
Hasn't Heard Any Talk of a Timetable by Jason Ditz, "In
an in-depth
interview with the Times of London
gearing up for the London Conference on Afghanistan later this
week, CENTCOM commander General David Petraeus again cautioned that
the war was going to `get harder before it gets easier.' Likening
the January
2007 surge in Iraq to President Obama’s December escalation,
the general said he thought that the war
in Afghanistan was going to take longer than the war in Iraq.
Perhaps even more troubling over eight years after the war began,
Gen. Petraeus insisted he still hasn’t heard any talk of setting
a timetable for the end of the war, and said any predictions would
be `premature.'” In other words, the Zionist-Dominated, Bankrupt,
Neo-Jacobin, Multi-Racial, Multi-Cultural, Anti-White, New Imperial
Rome/New Babylon, Imperial Global Superstate That Wages Perpetual
War For Perpetual Peace is determined to Stalingrad itself, and no
amount of reality or sensible advice is going to change its mind.

Taliban Part of ‘Political Fabric’ of Afghanistan Says
Taliban Must "Help Build a 21st Century Afghanistan"
by Jason Ditz. "Just days after declaring the Taliban `insidious'
and a `cancer' on Afghanistan that needs to be eliminated, Secretary
of Defense Robert Gates insisted that the group was part of the `political
fabric' of Afghanistan that needed to be willing to take a legitimate
role going forward." Let's see, one day Al Qaeda is a mortal
enemy, next day it is largely a creature of Mossad-CIA. One day the
Taliban is a horrendous threat, next day it can play a legitimate
role. Hello? Does anybody know what they are doing?

Humam al-Balawi by Juan Cole. This article illustrates
an interesting point, namely how in the long run, low cunning can
outwit itself, and create the enemies that one deserves. The phony
enemy created by false flag agents provocateurs is now beginning to
turn into the real enemy that America and Israel fear the most. In
the long run, false flag operators risk blow back and unintended consequences
that completely outweigh whatever short term benefits are achieved
by their deceptions.

Other Notes:2010-09-09
John de Nugent (described in Chapter
34) stated to this author that he believes that "V
for Vendetta" and "The
Matrix" have elements of false flag -related "controlled
opposition," predictive programming, limited hangout, and "twist-speak"
embedded within them. They take themes that reflect important aspects
of reality that most white Americans probably feel on a subconscious
level and then twist them so that Americans will channel their rebellious
sentiments in ways that are not too threatening towards the pro-Zionist,
multi-racial, multi-cultural, New World Order, globalist agenda. The Matrix
(according to Wikipedia) "depicts a future in which reality as
perceived by most humans is actually a simulated reality created by
sentient machines to pacify and subdue the human population, while
their bodies' heat and electrical activity are used as an energy source..."
Sounds like Jewish-controlled national media to John de Nugent, except
rather whites recapturing their identity and self-determination from
Jewish hegemony through resurgent white nationalism (the normal social
and political process), the movie portrays whites finding leadership
throughMorpheus,
played by a black
actor, and liberation in a computer program called "Zion,"
when in fact in the real world it is "Zionists" who are
most responsible for mentally enslaving whites in the first place
through Jewish-controlled Hollywood.In
V
for Vendetta "Britain is ruled by Norsefire, a totalitarian
government. Evey Hammond, a young woman who works at a TV station,
is rescued from an attempted rape by members of the secret police
by a Guy Fawkes-masked vigilante known as `V'. He leads her to a rooftop
to watch his destruction of the Old Bailey. Norsefire publicly explains
the incident as a planned demolition, but V shows up the lie by taking
over a state-run television station the next day. He broadcasts a
message urging the people of Britain to rise against the oppressive
government on 5 November, (in exactly one year's time) by meeting
him outside the Houses of Parliament. Evey then helps V to escape
the TV station, but is accidentally knocked out in the process..."There
are some twists here. For starters, as I explain in my "Iceland
Gets `ENRONed'" series, the Nordic peoples are historically
more closely associated with libertarianism rather than totalitarianism,
therefore the linkage of "Norse" in "Norsefire"
to totalitarianism is misleading. Also, the fact that the main protagonist
turns out to be a homosexual in the end is designed to turn off straight
white male conservatives. The movie also creates the impression that
various forms of protest gimmickry can effectively challenge the deep
financial, media, economic, intelligence operations (Mossad-CIA) and
sociological (Zionist) power of the New World Order, when in fact
historically it takes -- at a minimum -- a combination of deep ideological
commitment, broad-based ethnic rootedness (see my answer to question
13 "Does
ethnic solidarity matter in the defense of liberty?"
of my "Have You Been Brainwashed?" Quiz), and substantial
logistical support (please note how American Revolutionaries had to
go to France for support) in order to run an effective resistance
movement. An
important characteristic of the creation of "controlled opposition"
is that it provides just enough truth to pique people's interest and
sustain interest, but not so much truth that people connect all the
dots and become effective opposition. Once
"controlled opposition" movements achieve a certain size
and scope, their handlers will often try to have members within the
movement create an uproar that not only causes the movement to self-destruct,
but also damages or destroys the reputations of as many genuine and
effective activists as possible. These movies provide a variation
on this theme by inserting "twist" elements that confuse
effective resistance towards the "New World Order" gang
profiled in Chapter
5, and the Orwellian, Zionist-dominated, neo-Jacobin,
Multi-Racial, Multi-Cultural, Welfare-Warfare Global Superstate that
Wages Perpetual War for Perpetual Peace described in Chapter
6.
